North Korea opens memorial museum in Pyongyang for soldiers killed fighting in Ukraine war

Kim Jong Un and Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov unveiled a memorial museum in Pyongyang on Sunday commemorating North Korean soldiers killed while fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. The ceremony coincided with what Russia describes as the first anniversary of recapturing parts of the Kursk region. South Korean intelligence estimates approximately 15,000 North Korean soldiers were deployed and around 2,000 have died, though neither Pyongyang nor Moscow has released official figures.
