After months of silence, Pyongyang first confirmed that he sent units to fight for Russia in the war in Ukraine at the beginning of this year.
The North Korean leader was constantly supported by Russia.
Previously, Kim Jong Un promised to support Putin.
During a meeting in Pyongyang, Sergei Shoig, a leading security assistant to Putin, said Kim said that North Korea would “unconditionally support” Russia and “his foreign policy on all major international political affairs,” Kcna said. Both countries agreed to strengthen their ties “to the strong and complex relationships of the strategic partnership,” he said.
In 2024, North Korea “transferred to Russia at least 100 ballistic missiles, which were subsequently launched to Ukraine to destroy civilian infrastructure and terrorized inhabited areas such as Kiev and Zeporizhzhia,” Bloomberg News reported on 11 countries, including the United States, Australia, Kingdom.
The report also reported that Pyongyang “at the end of 2024 deployed over 11,000 soldiers to Eastern Russia, which were moved to a distant Kurk region, where they began to participate in combat operations along with the Russian forces to support the Russian War against Ukraine.”
