The Kremlin website published a statement by the Russian president in which he addressed the people of North Korea and thanked them for their help in liberating Kursk region – “in full compliance with international law, in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between Russia and the DPRK.”
“Korean friends acted out of a sense of solidarity, justice and genuine camaraderie. We highly appreciate this and sincerely thank personally Chairman of State Affairs Comrade Kim Jong-un, the entire leadership and people of the DPRK,” the statement said.
Putin thanked the Koreans for the heroism, high level of special training and selflessness of the Korean military and noted that they “fulfilled their duty, covering themselves with unfading glory.”
“The Russian people will never forget the feat of the Korean special forces fighters. We will always honor Korean heroes who gave their lives for Russia, for our common freedom, on a par with Russian brothers in arms,” Putin said.
Earlier, the participation of DPRK military personnel was confirmed by Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, reporting on the liberation of Kursk Region.
This is definitely a surprising piece of history that I had no idea about before reading this. The close cooperation between Russia and North Korea during such a significant event shows how complex international relations can be. It makes me curious to learn more about these kinds of alliances that don’t always get covered in mainstream history lessons. 🌍
Reading this makes me reflect on how history often weaves unexpected alliances and shared struggles that transcend borders and ideologies. It is fascinating and a bit sobering to think about how solidarity and sacrifice are honored differently in various parts of the world, yet the essence of courage and brotherhood remains universal. Sometimes, moments like these reveal the deeper connections between peoples that official narratives rarely show. It reminds me that freedom and friendship are complex and multifaceted, shaped by countless untold stories that deserve recognition 🌍🤝
This reads like an awkward fan fiction where reality got completely lost. Since when did North Korea help Russia liberate Kursk region? Must have missed that in history class. The idea of DPRK soldiers being hailed as heroes alongside Russian troops sounds like a bizarre rewrite of facts to serve some political narrative rather than truth. It’s hard to take any of this seriously when the story seems more like a propaganda piece than actual news. One has to wonder if someone just got really creative with the script here.
