South Korean intelligence is closely following the participation of DPRK servicemen in the war against Ukraine and what is happening around this event.

The important question is what Russian usurper Putin offered his fellow dictator Kim Jong Un that he could not refuse.

According to the South Korean intelligence services, everything turned out to be trivially simple.

Here's What We Know

Putin made a commitment to provide North Korea with up to 700,000 tonnes of rice a year - and this is important for a country whose population is in constant hunger. In addition, the Korean dictator expects to receive space technology, probably to realise an ambitious project to launch another military satellite. But the satellite could turn out to be a "cover" for long-range missiles that could deliver nuclear charges.

In addition, it became known that Russia promises to pay each Korean soldier up to $2,000 a month. Of course, the soldiers will receive much less (the average salary in the DPRK is $12-25 per month), and the remaining amount will replenish the treasury of the country, which is in dire need of foreign currency. It is estimated that in this way the budget of North Korea can be replenished by $200 million a year.

The cost of a Korean soldier's life, like that of a Russian soldier, is not taken into account.

And perhaps one of the main points of this deal will be Russia's potential participation in a war on the Korean peninsula, should such a war occur.
