After Russia had already admitted it, Noord -Korea has now confirmed that soldiers were sent to the war against Ukraine. Dictator Kim Jong-un gave the order to this and Moscow was also supported for the future, said it from North Korea.
On Saturday, Russia granted North Korean soldiers on the border with Ukraine for the first time. And for the fight to recapture his Kursk district. The soldiers from North Korea had made an important contribution to the “liberation” of the Ukrainian soldiers region, the head of the Russian General Staf, Waleri Gerassimow, said in a video circuit with President Vladimir Putin.
Demonstration of “Allianz and Brotherhood”
“Those who fought for justice are all heroes and representatives of the honor of the motherland,” Kim told the KCNA news agency. Noord -Korea and Russia demonstrated their “alliance and brotherhood” in Kursk, the army said. This “friendship proven by blood” will make an important contribution to expanding relationships “in all respects”. Noord -Korea will again support the Russian army, said it.
Almost every tenth of Kim’s soldiers were killed
KCNA did not comment on what would happen to the North Korean troops after the end of their mission in Kursk and whether they could return to their home country. Such as the BBC reports about Western government agents, at least 1,000 of the 11,000 soldiers from North Korea were killed within three months.
The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Senskyj had repeatedly accused North Korea of helping Russia not only with weapons, but also with staff. Neither Russia nor North Korea have officially confirmed this. The participation of the soldiers from North Korea in the Russian war against Ukraine is a violation of international law.
Gerassimow, on the other hand, emphasized that the fighting is in accordance with the contract with the contract for a strategic partnership between the two countries. In the agreement there is also a passage for mutual military support if one of the two countries must be attacked. However, there is no publicly known support for Russia in Noord -Korea. Russia also attacked Ukraine.
Washington demands the withdrawal of the Noord -Koreans
The United States was concerned about admission by North Korea of direct participation in the Russian war against Ukraine. “We are still worried about direct participation (Noord -Korea) during the war. The military mission of Noord -Korea in Russia and any support from the Russian Federation for Noord -Korea in exchange for this,” wrote a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in E -mail.
