Moscow has praised Pyongyang for helping liberate Russia’s Kursk Region from the Ukrainian incursion
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un personally ordered the country’s military to fight alongside Russian forces “to annihilate Ukrainian neo-Nazi occupiers and liberate the Kursk region,” the North’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Monday.
In a report to Russian President Vladimir Putin last week, Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov praised the contribution made by North Korean servicemen in helping to liberate the Kursk Region from Ukrainian forces. Pyongyang officially confirmed the deployment on Monday.
“The operations for liberating the Kursk area to repel the adventurous invasion of the Russian Federation by the Ukrainian authorities were victoriously concluded,” KCNA reported, citing an official statement by the Central Military Commission.
