Comrade Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, president of the Russian Federation, issued a statement on April 28 as regards the participation of combat sub-units of the armed forces of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK) 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, thus putting an end to the criminal provocation perpetrated by the Ukrainian authorities in an attempt to seize part of the Russian Federation territory.
Sub-units of the Korean People’s Army played an active role in smashing the neo-Nazi troops of the Kiev regime that invaded our territory, in full compliance with international law and in accordance with the paragraphs and spirit of the Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the Russian Federation and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea dated 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' action proceeded from solidarity, a sense of justice and genuine comradeship. We highly appreciate this and are sincerely grateful, personally to Comrade Kim Jong Un , president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, as well as the entire leadership and the people of the DPRK.
We commend the heroism, excellent combat capabilities and the spirit of self-sacrifice displayed by the DPRK soldiers while fighting, shoulder to shoulder with Russian soldiers, defending our motherland as their own. They fulfilled their duty with honour and valour, to their immortal glories.
The Russian people will never forget the heroism of the DPRK special forces. We will always honour the Korean 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 two countries, consolidated on the battlefield, will continue to grow and expand across the board.
