North Korea sent troops to clear mines in Russia’s Kursk region earlier this year, leader Kim Jong-un said in a speech carried on Saturday by state media, a rare acknowledgement by Pyongyang of the deadly tasks assigned to its deployed soldiers.
According to South Korean and western intelligence agencies, North Korea has sent thousands of troops to support Russia’s nearly four-year invasion of Ukraine.
Analysts say Russia is giving North Korea financial aid, military technology, food and energy supplies in return, allowing the diplomatically isolated nation to sidestep tough international sanctions on its nuclear and missile programmes.



i knew russia’s military was trash but DAMN 11 years and they’re still in this quagmire? they make us americans look responsible
What does the US have to show for the (insert many conflicts)
Don’t think your country is less of a clown show because of this.
They did have a shoddy ceasefire agreement from 2015 onwards where the “little green men” totally not anything to do with Russia fought in Donbas, until Russia invaded properly again in 2022. So technically 11 years 9 months, but seriously only for around four.
