Envoy denies troop deployment to Russia

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has not sent troops to Russia to help Moscow fight Ukraine, one of its United Nations representatives said on Monday, dismissing the Republic of Korea's claims as "groundless rumor". The ROK said on Friday that the DPRK sent a "large-scale" troop deployment to help Russia in its conflict with Ukraine. "As for the so-called military cooperation with Russia, my delegation does not feel any need for comment on such groundless stereotyped rumors," a DPRK representative said during a UN General Assembly.
