NATO and the European Union are ramping up pressure on China. They want Beijing to persuade North Korea to stop sending troops to Russia in support of its war on Ukraine.

Russia's growing economic and military cooperation with China, North Korea and Iran is threatening Europe, the Indo-Pacific and North America, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Tuesday.

US Air Force Col. Cedric Leighton (Ret.) says that he thinks President Joe Biden reversed course and authorized Ukraine to use US-made long-range attack missiles in response to North Korea military personnel entering the conflict.
