North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, in a New Year’s message to Russian President Vladmir Putin, said that the two nations have joined into “the sincerest alliance of sharing blood, life, and death in the same trench” while fighting together against Ukraine.
In the letter, carried by North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency, Kim also said that the two nations’ “absolute solidity and mightiness” had been “more vividly etched in the pages of the times and history,” and called their bond “invincible,” reports The New York Post on Saturday.
In recent months, North Korea has sent thousands of troops to support Russia’s war effort, including in the Kursk region, where Moscow has worked to push back Ukrainian forces.
