Russia on Saturday publicly acknowledged for the first time that North Korean forces are fighting on its side against Ukraine.

While reporting to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the situation in Kursk, southern Russia, General Valery Gerasimov praised North Korean DPRK soldiers for their efforts.

Gerasimov said the troops had shown “high professionalism, fortitude, courage and heroism,” fulfilling combat tasks “shoulder to shoulder” with Russian servicemen.

Following this admission, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that “Russia will never forget its friends from the DPRK.”

Neither one should have any say on the internal affairs of the other. If Ukraine doesn’t take a neutral position so what?

BECAUSE UKRAINE PROMISED TO DO SO IN ITS CONSTITUION, knowing damn well the consequences if it didn't.

Are you so stupid as to think the Russians were going to sit by an let an illegal coup we fomented install a government that was going to threaten its access to a naval base in Crimea that it had operated since before the US Constitution was written?

Apparently, such a moron that you have no problem with us under Obama taking provocative and aggression actions that only fool didn't realize would lead to war and, possibly, to WW III and nuclear war.

You're defending the indefensible.
