@independent: Kim Jong Un hosted an emotional ceremony to pay tribute to the North Korean soldiers who were sent to fight in Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine, in a rare public admission of military losses in a foreign conflict. Pictures published in state media showed the North Korean dictator handing out medals, hugging servicemen, comforting the crying children of fallen soldiers and kneeling in front of their portraits. Mr Kim said in a speech at the ceremony this week that his troops displayed courage and “fighting spirit of the heroes” during their mission to reclaim Russia’s Kursk region from Ukrainian forces, KCNA said.

He can give plenty of attention to each one because so few came back alive.

december.guy1515 :

That guy does not care about any of those people. The only thing he cares about is what they can do for him. I’m sure those people gave up their lives for him so he can have protection from Russia.😳😳😳❤️❤️🔥

Will :

Kim has some gall, pretending to care one bit about his people, he would probably prefer if everyone outside his captial died and Pyongyang became a city-state

Andrew :

A true leader. Long live Kim.

Kim Jong-un :

Long live the Democratic People's Republic of Korea✋
