https://news.yahoo.com/north-korea-offers-russia-100-202056174.htmlKorotchenko is a regular "military expert" on the Russian TV, although many in Russia see him as a chatterbox. The "Russian state TV" didn't claim "North Korea has offered Russia volunteers to aid". Such a claim emerged in social networks, was pushed by some anonymous TG channels. In one of the TV programs on the state TV, yes, Korotchenko was asked to comment on these rumors, and he commented through "ifs", - if it's true then this and that ..
Then, none of serious news outlets in Russia published it as a news.
I posted before <https://tinyurl.com/2yawtngf> that in Russia "there's an abundance of folks willing to analyze or comment on something". Atlanticist media are very enthusiastic to misrepresent it as something official or close to official. Your subject line should have been "Yahoo.com: New York Post reported that Russian state TV etc etc".
Whether the alleged offer may be true? It may be. Or it may be not.To be sure, no one know the veracity of this kind of story.
So one can only evaluate whether North Korea has reason to do so and how would
other regional players react to such voluntarism.
First of all, any of North Korea's plan to contribute has the U.S. as its target. It would
make U.S. plan to spoil Moscow's military plan regarding Ukraine.
Various Western and
Russian writers had commented that man power may be Moscow's weak spot. Its continuous
supply would determine how long the war can last and whether Moscow or the US could
achieve its goal.
How will other nations respond?
Do NATO nations besides US and Britain want a long war?
Given that Sino-US relationship is in a multi-decade low, will it mind North Korea
spoiling U.S. plan regarding Ukraine?
Last but not least, will the U.S. attack North Korea because it is pro-Russia?
The far bigger and more difficult question is what North Korea wants in return?
And the probability of NK getting what it wants.

The far bigger and more difficult question is what North Korea wants in return? And the probability of NK getting what it wants.I feel difficult to speculate on it. Basically, everything may be, but so
far the alleged NK's offer hardly looks like a realistic news. So far it's only rumors and hype, there was no any credible information about it.
"North Korea has offered Russia 100,000 “volunteers” to aid in the war against Ukraine, according to Russian state TV.
“There are reports that 100,000 North Korean volunteers are prepared to come and take part in the conflict,” talk show host Igor Korotchenko said on Russian Channel One, the New York Post reported.
The reports come as Russia’s military force is depleted after its unsuccessful attempt to take key parts of Ukraine, including the capital of Kyiv.
Some estimates put the number of Russian soldiers killed as high as 15,000 to 25,000. Accounting for over five months of the war, that puts Russia’s casualty count to about 100 soldiers a day.
Korotchenko also alluded to reports indicating Russia has invited North Korean “builders” to repair Russian-occupied Donbas."
