Kim Jong Un Sends 6,000 More North Koreans to Die in Ukraine
Russia’s security council secretary, Sergei Shoigu, announced that North Korea will send an additional 6,000 personnel to the Kursk region—1,000 sappers and 5,000 construction workers. This deployment follows Shoigu’s multiple visits to Pyongyang in recent months and builds upon an existing military and economic cooperation between the two nations. The new personnel will aid in demining efforts and infrastructure rebuilding, reflecting Russia’s continued reliance on North Korean support in its war against Ukraine. This arrangement benefits North Korea through economic compensation and access to military technology, further strengthening the relationship between the two countries.
