North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has awarded medals to his returning and fallen troops, who fought for Russia in the war against Ukraine, as he held an emotional meeting with the families of soldiers killed on the battlefield, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
“The combat activities of overseas operational forces … proved without regret the power of the heroic [North Korean] army,” and that the “liberation of Kursk” proved the “fighting spirit of the heroes”, KCNA reported on Friday, quoting Kim.
“Our army is now doing what it ought to do and what needs to be done. It will do so in the future, too,” Kim said, according to KCNA.
He also laid a flower at a memorial wall for North Korean soldiers killed overseas, and a concert was held for soldiers who returned from serving in Russia, as well as a banquet that included bereaved family members of slain troops, KCNA said.
Photos published by the news agency showed the North Korean leader hugging visibly emotional family members of fallen soldiers.
South Korean and Western intelligence agencies have said Pyongyang sent more than 10,000 soldiers to Russia’s Kursk region in 2024, along with artillery shells, missiles and long-range rocket systems to be used by Russia against Ukraine.

Yes, this really is a horrific situation for the people of North Korea. They are essentially hostages for their entire lives.
Yes - but at least sociopathic jerks on FR get to yuck it up over the dead Nork soldiers.

Putin’s botched invasion of Ukraine is over.

This would be hilarious were it not tragic for the family. He just disposed of 1000s of surplus feeding mouths, starting with those who dared to make eye contact with him during a parade.
Kill a commie for mommy.
Kim Jong Un’s war in Europe gets some support on FR, and on this thread.

LOL, what planet do you live on with all your goofy, irrelevant postings.
Your support for Kim Jong Un’s war in Europe is bizarre for even you.
Lying, as is your usual way.
No where have I “support[ed] for Kim Jong Un’s war in Europe”.
I just pointed out the sociopathy of the blood-dancers.

They’re talking about YOU, you frickin’ creepy troll. Appears that you haven’t changed a bit in 10 years.
Memories...
Yep, as expected, you showed up on the North Korean/Russia war thread to go rabid in support of North Korea/Russia, you do not tolerate anything that you see as negative about our enemies fighting in Europe, what is goofy is your childish nerd boy responses to the news article.
“”Kim Jong Un’s war in Europe gets some support on FR, and on this thread.””
Off topic... didn’t you used to post on a forum which I shall not name under the nic “anse” or something like that? You seem very familiar.
No.
“”No.””
Ok, thanks.
No doubt it is the neocons fault that Norks are dying in Putin’s colonialist wars of choice on Russia’s neighbors.
Dying while helping Putin’s hordes kill white Christians that the United States and our allies are supporting.
President Trump has American troops training the Ukrainians to kill the Russians and the North Koreans, with the weapons Trump is supplying them with.
And in return, Russia gave missile tech & air defense systems to our enemy in North Korea.
You got spanked by JR for trolling onyx back in the day. You rubbed a bunch of posters the wrong way, as is your wont.
