Pyongyang, April 29 (KCNA) -- Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, president of the Russian Federation, issued a statement on April 28 as regards the participation of the combat sub-units of the armed forces of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the operations for liberating the Kursk area of the Russian Federation. The full text of the statement is as follows: On April 26, 2025, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation finally defeated the group of Ukrainian militants that invaded the Kursk Region, putting an end to the criminal provocation perpetrated by the Ukrainian authorities in an attempt to seize part of the Russian Federation territory. Units of the Korean People’s Army played an active role in the fight that brought the defeat of the neo-Nazi formations of the Kiev regime that invaded our territory, in full compliance with international law and in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the Russian Federation and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea of June 19, 2024 in particular, Article 4 of the Treaty, which requires each of the parties to provide immediate military assistance in the event of an armed attack against the other. Our Korean friends’ move was guided by a sense of solidarity, justice and genuine comradery. We highly appreciate this and are sincerely grateful, personally to President of the State Affairs of the DPRK Kim Jong Un, as well as the entire leadership and the people of the DPRK. We commend the DPRK soldiers' heroism, their excellent training and dedication displayed while fighting, shoulder to shoulder with Russian soldiers, defending our motherland as their own. They fulfilled their duty with honour and valour, covering themselves with unfading glory. The Russian people will never forget the heroism of the DPRK special forces. We will always honour the heroes who gave their lives for Russia, for our common freedom, fighting side by side with their Russian brothers in arms. We are confident that the strong bond of friendship, neighbourly relations and cooperation between our countries, tempered on the battlefield, will continue to grow and expand across the board.
