Some of the soldiers are said to have arrived in Russia 's Kursk region close to the border with Ukraine .

Ukraine and its supporters strongly condemned the deployment of troops, fearing a further escalation of the war.

This move will have long-term consequences for North Korea's relations with Europe , says Victor Cha .
