Soldiers from North Korea are supposed to fight for Russia in eastern Ukraine. What do Vladimir Putin and Pyongyang’s dictator Kim Jong-un expect from this? An overview.
Why are North Koreans fighting Ukraine?
Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un signed a military alliance in June: In the event of an attack on one of the countries, the alliance partner undertakes to support the other.
