North Korea’s Kim Jong Un decorates soldiers who fought for Russia

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un lauded “heroic” North Korean troops who fought for Russia in the war against Ukraine, in a ceremony decorating soldiers of the army’s overseas operation, state media KCNA said on Friday.
Kim said in a speech, “The combat activities of overseas operational forces… proved without regret the power of the heroic (North Korean) army,” and said the “liberation of Kursk” proved the “fighting spirit of the heroes,” KCNA said.
Kim laid a flower at a memorial wall for soldiers fallen overseas, and a concert was held for soldiers returned from Russia as well as a banquet that included bereaved family members, KCNA said.
