Kyiv’s military intelligence chief highlighted that North Korea has emerged stronger from the ongoing Ukraine war, gaining critical battlefield experience and access to advanced military technologies by supporting Russia’s invasion. This transformation poses a potential shift in the balance of power in Northeast Asia, as North Korea, alongside Ukraine and Russia, is one of the few nations with extensive experience in modern warfare across long front lines. This situation underscores the complexity of international military dynamics, especially as North Korea’s enhanced capabilities could influence regional security and strategic calculations that India must consider in its defense strategies.
