North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told a visiting top Russian official that his country will “unconditionally support” Russia's war against Ukraine, the North's state media reported Thursday, the latest sign of expanding cooperation between the two nations.
In April, the two countries officially confirmed North Korean troops' deployment to Russia for the first time, saying that soldiers of the two countries were fighting alongside each other to repel a Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk border region. At the time, Russian President Vladimir Putin thanked North Korea's participation in the war and promised not to forget their sacrifices.
