North Korea promises "unwavering" support to Russia in "sacred war" against Ukraine

SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 02:53

The North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, sent a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin in which he reaffirmed North Korea's "unwavering" support for Russia. In the message, Kim Jong Un classified the conflict as a "sacred war" against Ukraine.

The letter was released by Pyongyang's official media through the KCNA news agency. The full content of the message was not fully disclosed by North Korean authorities.

This is not the first time Kim Jong Un has expressed public support for Russia during the conflict in Ukraine. Pyongyang has been one of Moscow's main allies on the international stage since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022.

Relations between North Korea and Russia have intensified in recent years, with both nations drawing closer diplomatically and developing closer cooperation, especially in the context of the war in Ukraine.

Why this matters

This episode demonstrates the deepening cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow, which could reinforce military and political support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. For readers in the region, this alliance raises concerns about a possible escalation of the conflict and greater geopolitical instability in Europe and Asia.
