"North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has showcased a newly constructed residential street for families of soldiers who have died fighting in Russia's war in Ukraine, according to state media. Intelligence agencies from South Korea and Western nations have reported that North Korea has dispatched thousands of soldiers to fight for Russia, and Seoul estimated they have suffered 2,000 casualties."
"Experts suggested North Korea receives financial aid, military technology and essential supplies from Russia in exchange for this support. Its official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) released photographs showing Kim touring the new homes on Saeppyol Street in Pyongyang with his daughter, Ju Ae, widely regarded as his heir apparent. South Korea's intelligence agency recently claimed she has been designated as a successor, citing her involvement in high-profile events with her father."
"The new street has been built thanks to the ardent desire of our motherland, which wishes that its excellent sons who defended the most sacred things by sacrificing their most valuable things will live forever, Kim said in a speech released by KCNA. Although Monday's report did not mention Russia, Kim recently pledged to unconditionally support all policies and decisions made by Russian President Vladimir Putin."
