The U.S. estimates that North Korea has sent at least 3,000 soldiers to aid Russia in Ukraine, which could potentially allow Russia to reorganize and escalate the conflict. This move could also have a psychological impact on Ukrainian forces and other countries, potentially widening the war to include Asia. South Korea has called for the immediate withdrawal of North Korean troops from Russia, while other countries occupying the space between Russia and the West are also feeling the political impact of the conflict. Leaders from countries like Brazil, Egypt, the UAE, and India, who are partners of the U.S. in trade and/or security, are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain neutrality as tensions escalate. Amidst all this, ordinary Russians are expressing a desire for peace. The situation in Ukraine is drawing in more countries and could have significant implications for global stability and geopolitics.
