Details: The Pentagon chief said that the department's analysts continue to study this issue, and they see evidence that the DPRK troops have moved into Russia.

Quote from Austin: "What exactly they are doing remains unknown. These are things we have to figure out."

Details: He said that if the DPRK military's intention is to participate in Russia's war against Ukraine, it is an extremely serious issue that will have an impact not only in Europe but also in the Indo-Pacific region.

Background:

• Just the other day, while in Naples on Saturday, the Pentagon chief said he could not confirm reports that North Korea had sent troops to Russia to fight in the war against Ukraine.
• On Monday, Austin visited Kyiv, and two days after the visit, he reported evidence of North Korean troops being deployed in Russia.
• The European Commission said that if the reports of DPRK soldiers being deployed to Russia to take part in the war against Ukraine are confirmed, it will be new evidence of Russia's lack of interest in peace.
