south korea is intensely worried about its northern neighbors move. the north army is massive 1200000 soldiers and regularly provoke south korea with missile tests and border confrontation of south koreans. worried that the north will gain valuable combat experience in russia and possibly in ukraine itself. the north is also testing its military equipment against the western systems, south korea and president young sir. your said, his country could review the possibility of sending military aid to ukraine, pouring yet more weapons into the conflict. in the wild card is the u. s. president elect donald trump has praised both north korea's kim john own and russia's vladimir putin. trump takes office on the 20th of january, a waiting game where everything is on the line for ukraine. you can say that's full since i've rebelled in advance on coupons, in the eastern net region, beating back in attack by russian infantry kapinsky of the strategic rail hub close
