The images transmitted this Friday, August 22 by the state media of North Korea showed Kim Jong a kneeling against the portraits of soldiers who died in combat by Russia against Ukraine, and hugging a survivor of the conflict.
During a ceremony held at the headquarters of the Korean Workers Party in Pyongyang, Kim Jong One greeted the “heroic” and “admirable” soldiers, returned after “exploded balls and bombs.”
The images show the North Korean leader, apparently under emotion, kissing a soldier who seems annoying, his face against the chest of his leader.
You can also see the leader kneel against the portrait of a soldier who fell into the battle, before placing medals and flowers in front of others.
“Notable exploits” and 600 killed soldiers
The leader also granted, according to the KCNA agency, the title of “Hero of the Democratic Popular Republic of Korea”, the official name of North Korea, the commanders who fought in operations abroad and “notable exploits.”
In April, North Korea first confirmed that he had deployed a contingent of his soldiers against Ukrainian troops along with Russian troops.
The secret services of South Korea and Western countries said Pyongyang had sent more than 10,000 soldiers to the Koursk region in 2024, as well as artillery shells, missiles and long -range rocket systems.
According to Seoul, some 600 North Korean soldiers were killed and thousands were injured while fighting for Russia, according to Seoul. Pyongyang and Moscow have been linked by a security and defense agreement since 2024.
