North Korea may be the only country to send its troops to shed their blood for Russia in its war against Ukraine, but even this unprecedented deployment of thousands of soldiers apparently wasn’t enough to convince the allies to show off their ties in Moscow’s Red Square.
The Kremlin announced on Tuesday that Korean People’s Army forces will not be among the foreign contingents marching in a large-scale parade to celebrate Victory Day on May 9, despite Russia inviting North Korea to participate months ago and celebrating DPRK contributions to the war effort in recent weeks.
