White House spokesperson says 3,000 N.Korean soldiers being trained in Russia

White House national security spokesperson John Kirby says at least 3,000 North Korean soldiers are now being trained in facilities in eastern Russia, possibly to fight for Russia.

He said the US assesses the soldiers traveled by ship from the Wonsan area in eastern North Korea to Vladivostok in Russia's Far East, and then to multiple military training sites in eastern Russia, where they are currently undergoing training. Kirby said the US, together with its allies and partners, will keep a close eye on the movement of North Korean soldiers being trained in Russia.
