SEOUL (Reuters) -North Korean leader Kim Jong Un lauded “heroic” North Korean troops who fought for Russia in the war against Ukraine, in a ceremony decorating soldiers of the army’s overseas operation, state media KCNA said on Friday.
Kim said in a speech that “the combat activities of overseas operational forces… where the world had been focused proved without regret the power of the heroic (North Korean) army,” and said the “liberation of Kursk” proved the “fighting spirit of the heroes,” KCNA said.
