In addition, North Korea has also provided approximately 12,000 soldiers. That influx of manpower is now on the ground, engaged in active combat for Russia against Ukraine.

President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to end the war between Russia and Ukraine when he takes office in January. He reiterated that point in a media briefing at Mar-a-Lago last week. Trump says there must be a deal to end the war because too many people have been killed.

In exchange for its military muscle, North Korea is receiving cash and oil from Russia, signifying a deepening alliance between the two communist nations.
