North Korean forces entering Russia’s war with Ukraine could have implications for areas outside Europe, warns former PM Kevin Rudd.
Kevin Rudd, Australia’s ambassador to the United States, has urged Beijing to lean on North Korea to “cease and desist” with its growing military support for Russia in its ongoing war against Ukraine.
Rudd, speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, said the prospect that North Korean forces could enter the war highlighted both Moscow’s military shortfalls and its growing reliance on support from US adversaries.
“It does not lie exclusively within China’s purchase, but because of China’s long-standing supply of resources, including oil to the north, China is not without leverage.” The Biden administration has yet to say how it plans to respond to their potential employment in combat against Ukrainian forces.
