RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin on Sunday highlighted the combat brother hood between Russia and North Korea, emphasizing the countries’ glorious history and Pyongyang’s assistance when part of the Kursk Region came under occupation.
Putin on Sunday sent greetings to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and participants in ceremonies marking the opening of a memorial complex and museum dedicated to heroes of a foreign military operation in Pyongyang.
“Russian-Korean combat brotherhood has a glorious history. In the final stages of World War II, Soviet troops, together with Korean patriots, liberated your country from Japanese colonial domination, and in the 1950s they helped defend the independence of North Korea in the fight against foreign interventionists. And in our time, when part of the Kursk Region fell under enemy occupation, Pyongyang, for its part, resolutely and without hesitation came to our aid,” Putin said in the statement, published on the Kremlin’s website.
