Interesting analysis from AC, taking a position that the request for help from North Korea might be indicative that another mobilisation in Russia might cause civil unrest.
North Korean troops could help Putin avoid a risky Russian mobilization
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has turned to his north Korean ally for troops to help cover his own army's catastrophic losses in Ukraine and avoid a politically risky second wave of mobilization in Russia itself, writes Olivia Yanchik.www.atlanticcouncil.org

It’ll be interesting to see where they’re deployed. I haven’t been reading much on the potential of NK infantry soldiers & where they’d be deployed etc.
I’d be really surprised to see them on Ukrainian soil, so the earlier talk of them being in Kursk probably seems the safest prediction.
Russia & Belarus have already started preparations for Zapad 25, so wouldn’t be surprised if you started seeing North Korean soldiers being involved in that.

Actually that's not a bad shout. Zapad 25 would allow them to be in the vicinity for a legitimate reason seeing they're in (or about to be) a self defence alliance with each other. It would be no different to South Korean troops in military drills in an Eastern European NATO member state.
Seeing that all parties seem to want to push the escalation up then that's a perfect way to rattle some sabres for Russia and NATO. Much better than actually fighting I suppose but a few more million wasted that could be spent on almost anything which would be more useful than the tax payers funding it.
Time will tell of course. Norks on Ukranian soil must surely be a red-line for NATO.

Why? Ukraine ain't in NATO and I don't think NATO will be silly enough to make up red lines that they may see crossed. Unless our beloved politicians start making them up that is.
I don't actually think that we'll see them in Ukraine as they will probably not be much use so it's pretty much a moot point. I'd be surprised to see them actively involved in Kursk even.
But as you rightly point out, time will certainly tell.
Now did someone say they'd seen some norks?
Norks everywhere.
It’s like a global piley-on against Ukraine atm.
Maybe not an organisational military response from NATO but it could unfold whereby a NATO member (France or Poland) decide to put boots on the ground unilaterally if the Norks show up in Ukraine. At that point it’s very close to WW III.
As you say, given the media exposure of the Norks then it’s highly unlikely they’d be used on Ukrainian territory. But very possible that they could be used in the Kursk area after all it is Russian territory.
What happens if a convoy of kin un true believers gets obliterated shuttling ammo around on the russki border?
Then the world’s a better place.

And yet they are accurate. Even the Ukrainian mappers catch up a few days later.
