As North Korea celebrates Korean War anniversary, Putin thanks Pyongyang for 'supporting' war against Ukraine

"Solidarity with Russia on key international issues highlight our common interests," Putin said during a speech as North Korea celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Korean War.


 Russian President Vladimir Putin


According to claims from North Korean official media, Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed North Korea for its 'strong support' during Moscow's conflict against Ukraine and claimed that it strengthened both nations' resolve to contend with Western powers.

Putin's comments on Thursday, which were published by CNN, more or less corroborated US officials' assertions that North Korea had sold millions of rockets and artillery rounds to Moscow for use against Ukraine while the war had been going on for more than 500 days.



In his remarks, Putin stated that "solidarity with Russia on crucial international issues highlight our common interests." On Victory Day in Pyongyang, which marks the 70th anniversary of the Korean War, he also expressed his congratulations to North Korea. 


The leader of the Kremlin also emphasized the contribution of Soviet pilots, who "carried out tens of thousands of combat flights" against their adversaries, South Korea and the United States. Putin added, "The historical experience of conflicting friendship has lofty qualities and is serving as a reliable foundation to further strengthen the relationship between Russia and North Korea in the areas of politics, economy, and security.

In the meantime, North Korea hosted a military display to commemorate the Korean War that featured two Hwasong-18 intercontinental ballistic missiles, which are said to have the range to hit the US mainland. 

During the parade, delegations from China and Russia were present, led by Li Hongzhong, a member of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

Russia and China's visit to the July 27, 1953war was greeted by North Korea as a rare instance of open communication since the start of the outbreak.North Korea believed it had won the "Great Homeland Liberation War" when detente drew the Korean peninsula into a unique state of war.

Considering that no peace treaty was ever signed, the Koreas are still formally at war.The US never established diplomatic ties with the North despite fighting with South Korea and other allies during the conflict.

The visits by Chinese and Russian delegations to North Korea, according to a number of observers, should worry world leaders.Professor Leif-Eric Easley of Seoul's Ewha Womans University said that China's attendance at North Korea's display of nuclear-capable missiles raises serious concerns about whether Beijing is aiding Pyongyang's threats to international security.
