US, EU and ROK sanction North Korean generals leading troops deployed to Russia

Coordinated designations of dozens of individuals and entities target DPRK-Russia military cooperation against Ukraine

The unilateral sanctions announced on Monday and Tuesday designate dozens of individuals and entities and come days after Kyiv warned that Russia has begun using DPRK soldiers in more prominent combat roles in Kursk.
