Russian news agencies cited the Moscow security chief on a trip to Pyongyang on Tuesday, saying that North Korea would send military builders and sappers to help restore North Korea’s western region.
With close ties with Russia’s Security Council Secretary and former Defense Minister Vladimir Putin, Sergey Shuigo spoke to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang, which was his second competition in just two weeks.
Shuigo said he was following Putin’s “special instructions”.
His visit came at a time when the relationship between Moscow and Pyongyang – which is approaching their words that are coming to them. This is a disgraceful West – it is growing at its pace, and a few days later, when he launched the first direct train between the North Korean capital Moscow and Pyongyang after 2020.
He said he hoped that direct flights between Moscow and Pyongyang would also resume for the first time in more than 30 years.
This visit to Shuigo may be examined in the West because the United States, South Korea and Ukraine themselves have accused North Korea of providing Russia to mass military support to continue its war against Ukraine, neither Moscow nor Pyongyang has publicly confessed.
The talks lasted for more than two hours, Shugo said.
He told a news conference that North Korea would soon start reconstruction after Moscow.
“Chairman Kim Jong Un has decided to send Russia to Russia, Russia, as well as 5,000 military construction workers have been sent to rebuild the destroyed infrastructure facilities,” said Toss, the Russian state -run news agency Toss.
“I think the work will start in the near future,” he added. He added that some areas would first need to be eliminated.
‘Putin’s message’
Shuigo, who had previously visited Pyongyang and met Kim on June 21 and June 4, said he had passed an uncontrolled message of Putin.
He said he had discussed US Russian relations, Ukraine, the Korean Peninsula and other security questions that he did not explain.
An honor protector and Marshal Pak Jong Chen, who occupies the second most powerful position in the secret North Korean army, met Shivago by his plane.
Russia’s state of Russia Gazetta released a video of Kim – wearing a traditional Mao suit – embracing Shogo before going to the hall with a long negotiation table.
“Two weeks have passed and we are meeting again,” Kim said before Chaking.
“It is important to fulfill the president’s direction,” Shuygo replied, who agreed, when Kim said that repeated visits to Shivu show that relations between Moscow and Pyongyang are strengthening.
In a message last week, Kim called Putin his “dear companion” and praised his bilateral relations that he was a “real relationship between the arms in his colleagues”.
His visit was lowered in June 2024 and linked to Putin’s signed strategic partnership agreement, including a bilateral defense agreement, Shuygo said. Later, Moscow cited the agreement while explaining the deployment of North Korean troops in Kara.
Shuigo said he and Kim had discussed the Memorial Complex projects dedicated to North Korean soldiers in Pyongyang.
The British military intelligence said this week that North Korean troops have suffered more than 6,000 casualties in Kraki. North Korea has not revealed its losses.
The United States and South Korea say North Korea has sent ballistic missiles, anti -tanks rockets and millions of round ammunition to use Russia in its war against Ukraine. Moscow and Pyongyang have denied the transfer of weapons.
Reuters investigations in April 2025 revealed that millions of North Korean shells had reached the front lines in the beach and then by train.
