Source Frances Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, as reported by European Pravda Details The French Foreign Ministry stated that, together with its partners, it has been condemning the deployment of North Korean troops in Russia, where they are assisting Moscow in its war against Ukraine, since October last year.

This hostile act has direct repercussions for the security of Europeans and, more broadly, for international security.
We strongly condemn it.

The United States responded with concern, while the European Union described the move as a desperation call from Russia.
