North Korean troop claims revive talk of EU ‘boots on the ground’ in Ukraine – POLITICO

Reports that thousands of North Korean soldiers may soon join Russia to fight in Ukraine are reviving talk of sending European troops to the country to help Kyiv’s defenders.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis told POLITICO Sunday that it’s time for European countries to revisit French President Emmanuel Macron’s idea of deploying troops to Ukraine.

“If information about Russia’s killing squads being equipped with North Korean ammunition and military personnel is confirmed, we have to get back to ‘boots on the ground’ and other ideas proposed by Macron,” Landsbergis, one of Europe’s most outspoken voices on Ukraine, said in written comments.
