"North Korean troops attacking Ukraine from Russian territory or entering Ukrainian territory should be a red line for the US and NATO. Your administration must clearly and unequivocally state this," - noted in Turner's letter to Biden.
Turner called for an urgent closed briefing for the Intelligence Committee regarding the possible involvement of DPRK troops in expanding the conflict in Ukraine.
Earlier, Ukraine's Foreign Minister, Andriy Sybiha, reported that North Korea is providing Russia not only with weapons but also regular military units for use on the front. He urged allies to strengthen military support for Ukraine in response to escalation from Russia.
