North Korea, officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a country in East Asia led by Kim Jong Un. It supports Russia’s war: it has supplied a million artillery shells and missiles that Russia fired at Ukraine, and at the end of 2024 North Korean soldiers first took part in assaults on Ukrainian positions in Russia’s Kursk region. In April 2025 North Korea officially admitted that its troops were fighting; according to South Korean intelligence, about 2,000 of them have been killed. Ukrainian forces have captured North Korean soldiers, and South Korea is ready to take in those who wish to move there. In July 2026 Zelenskyy said Russia wanted to bring in another 30,000 North Korean troops.

MykVisti covers North Korea’s role in the war, North Korean prisoners of war, missile launches and news from the country itself.
