North Korea’s Kim says he’ll ‘unconditionally support’ Russia’s war against Ukraine
- On Wednesday in Pyongyang, Kim Jong Un met with Sergei Shoigu, Russia's top security official, and pledged North Korea’s full support for Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
- This meeting took place after North Korea confirmed it had sent more than 11,000 soldiers to Russia throughout 2024, followed by an additional deployment of around 3,000 troops in early 2025, to support operations near the Kursk area.
- Last year, North Korea supplied Russia with a large quantity of military equipment, including up to nine million rounds of various artillery shells and rocket launcher munitions, as well as at least 100 ballistic missiles.
- Kim expressed conviction that Russia would achieve victory in defending sovereignty and security, while Shoigu conveyed Russia's thanks for North Korean soldiers' role in operations to reclaim Kursk territory.
- These developments signal expanding military and political cooperation between the two countries amid international concern about the legality and consequences of North Korea's involvement.
