Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, is said to have offered reinforcements in exchange for energy and grain from Moscow.
According to the Russian news agency Regnum, the pariah Communist state would also provide builders to assist in the repair of war damage.
Vladimir Putin is expected to send additional troops to his allies in the eastern separatist republics of Donetsk and Luhansk.
According to Igor Korotchenko, a reserve colonel and TV defence analyst, Moscow should gratefully accept the offer of assistance.
He claimed Kim’s fighters are equipped with artillery systems and have extensive experience with rocket systems and counter-battery warfare.
“We should not be shy about accepting Kim Jong-hand,” un’s he said.
The news came as Russia was accused of employing “terror tactics” by launching rocket attacks on civilians near Europe’s largest nuclear plant.
