Kim Jong Un Thanks North Korean Troops in Russia Amid Possible Additional Deployment

Kim Jong Un publicly thanked North Korean soldiers deployed in Russia on the 78th anniversary of the DPRK's founding, signaling continued military cooperation with Moscow. South Korea and Ukraine have expressed concerns about a potential additional deployment of North Korean troops to support Russia's war in Ukraine. This follows an established pattern of DPRK troop involvement, but the anniversary message underscores the deepening military alliance and raises the prospect of expanded North Korean participation.
