North Korea’s Kim pledges ‘invariable support’ in Putin letter
The letter comes amid speculation that Pyongyang is poised to send more troops to Russia to aid its war effort against Ukraine.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un pledged unwavering support for Russia in a letter to President Vladimir Putin, referring to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine as "sacred," according to state media reports. This development underscores the growing ties between North Korea and Russia since Russia's 2022 invasion, with Pyongyang providing troops and receiving economic and military assistance in return.
South Korea's spy agency estimated the death toll from the war to be around 6,000 North Korean soldiers, while analysis suggests up to 50,000 North Korean troops may be deployed to Russia, though no evidence has been provided.
