"North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un has hailed his country's invincible alliance with Russia, as he marked one year since his troops deployed to fight in Moscow's war against Ukraine with the opening of a museum honouring soldiers who died in battle. Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony in the capital Pyongyang on Thursday, Kim addressed the families of North Korean soldiers who fought in the operations for liberating Kursk,"
"The years of militant fraternity, in which a guarantee has been provided for the long-term development of the bilateral friendship at the cost of precious blood, will advance nonstop, Kim said, according to state news agency KCNA. Challenges of domination and tyranny cannot hinder ties between Russia and North Korea, Kim added. The event attended by Kim was the latest public honouring of North Korean troops who fought to repel an incursion by Ukrainian forces into Russia's Kursk region in 2024."
Kim Jong Un presided over the groundbreaking of a Memorial Museum of Combat Feats in Pyongyang to honor North Korean soldiers who died while deployed to Russia. He hailed the deployment as the start of a new history of militant solidarity and described the years of militant fraternity as guaranteeing long-term bilateral friendship at the cost of precious blood. The museum will include a cemetery, memorial hall and monument dedicated to overseas detachment soldiers. NATO, US and South Korean intelligence reported evidence of North Korean troops deployed to fight alongside Russian forces in 2024. Kim and Vladimir Putin later ratified a mutual defence pact.
