Putin’s Beginning of WWIII? U.S Warns 50,000 Russian, North Korean Troops Ready to Invade Ukraine [Video]

Putin’s Beginning of WWIII? U.S Warns 50,000 Russian, North Korean Troops Ready to Invade Ukraine

As tensions escalate in Eastern Europe, U.S. officials have raised alarms about the growing military presence along the Russian-Ukrainian border. The Pentagon has warned that up to 50,000 troops, consisting of Russian forces and North Korean soldiers, are preparing to launch an offensive against Ukraine. According to U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, these troops are being integrated into Russian military units in the Kursk region, located near the border with Ukraine. Austin expressed concerns that these forces could soon be engaged in combat, signalling a dangerous escalation in the ongoing war. The buildup of these foreign troops, along with reports of Russia providing North Korea with oil, anti-aircraft missiles, and economic aid in exchange for military support, has raised fears of a significant intensification of hostilities. As the conflict continues to evolve, both Russia and North Korea have become increasingly intertwined in military strategy, with the possibility of further destabilising the region. Ukraine, still recovering from its initial offensives, remains on high alert as this new threat looms large. #PutinsWWIII #RussianTroops #NorthKoreanTroops #UkraineConflict #USDefense #WorldWar3 #KurskRegion #RussianInvasion #MilitaryEscalation #UkraineWar #PutinWar #NorthKorea #EasternEuropeTensions #RussianAlliance #USResponse ~PR.152~ED.194~HT.336~GR.344~
