Putin thanks Kim for North Koreans fighting in Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his gratitude to North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un for the North Korean soldiers fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. While the exact number of North Korean casualties is unknown, it is estimated that thousands of North Korean soldiers have perished in the ongoing conflict. This is a significant development, as it marks the first known instance of North Korean troops participating in a foreign war outside of the Korean Peninsula. The involvement of North Korean forces in the Ukrainian conflict is seen as a testament to the close ties between Russia and North Korea, as well as a sign of the increasing global tensions surrounding the war in Ukraine. However, the details of this arrangement and the reasons behind North Korea's decision to send troops remain unclear, and the potential implications of this development are still unfolding.
