“Russia and North Korea: Tradition of friendship and cooperation carried forward decade after decade.” This is the title of a speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin which appeared in the North Korean newspaper “Rodong Sinmun” and quoted by the KCNA news agency. Putin, who will visit Pyongyang today and tomorrow at the invitation of Kim Jong Un, explains the prospects of relations between the two countries and their importance in today’s world, and assures that Moscow will unceasingly support North Korea “in the fight to defend its right to independence”, while thanking the country for “firmly supporting” Moscow in the war in Ukraine.
Ukrainian war, Kiev: Russian troops beheaded a Ukrainian soldier
Kiev accused Russian troops “beheaded” a Ukrainian soldier in the eastern Donetsk region. “While carrying out aerial reconnaissance in one of the combat positions in the Donetsk region, the Ukrainian army discovered a damaged Ukrainian armored vehicle. It contained the severed head of a Ukrainian defender,” the Prosecutor General’s Office wrote on social media of Kiev.
According to a statement from the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office, to give the order of beheading the Kiev soldiers were “the heads of one of the divisions of the occupying forces of the Russian Federation in the Volnova district of the Donetsk region.” According to the prosecutor’s office, during aerial reconnaissance in one of the combat positions in the Donetsk region the Ukrainian army discovered a damaged armored vehicle of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. On it, there was the severed head of a Ukrainian soldier. Prosecutor Kostin published the censored image depicting the Ukrainian vehicle with its severed head on the hood. “These criminal orders were given at the level of the battalion and company leadership of the occupying troops,” he underlined in his message. “We will not let these crimes go unpunished. I call on the entire civilized world to isolate and punish the terrorist country.” Reporting the news, the RBC-Ukraine portal recalls that a few weeks ago Kostin reported that Ukrainian law enforcement agencies were investigating 61 executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war committed by the Russians.
