North Korea Kim confirms Russia’s support in Ukraine conflict: Report

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told Russia’s leading diplomat that his country was ready to “unconditionally support” all Moscow’s actions to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, state -run media reported on Sunday, as the two countries were high.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is on a three -day visit to North Korea, which has provided troops and weapons for Russia’s war with Ukraine and has pledged more military support as Moscow is trying to make progress in the conflict.

Kim met with Lavrov in the eastern coastal city of Wonsan, where the two countries’ foreign ministers held their second strategic dialogue, committing further cooperation in a corporate relationship with a defense agreement last year.

Kim told Lavrov that the steps taken by allies responding to the radical evolving global geopolitical would greatly contribute to securing peace and security around the world, the state -run North Korean news agency said.

“Kim Jong Un has confirmed that the CRC (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) is ready to support unconditionally and encourage all the measures taken by the Russian leadership in dealing with the basic cause of the Ukrainian crisis,” KCNA said.

Lavrov previously held talks with his counterpart in North Korea, the son of Hui in the Wonsan and issued a joint statement that binds support to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the other countries, KCNA said.

On Saturday, Russian media reported that Lavrov described the two countries’ ties as “an undefeated Battle Brotherhood” in his meeting with Kim and thanked him for the troops developed in Russia.

Relations between Russia and North Korea have deepened dramatically over the last two years of the War in Ukraine, which began in February 2022, while Pyongyang develops more than 10,000 troops and weapons in Russia to support Moscow’s military campaign.

The Kim government is committed to sending about 6,000 military engineers and builders to assist with rebuilding work in Kursk, Russia.
