YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Diminutive North Korean leader Kim Jong un was shown throwing himself on a coffin of a soldier who was killed fighting for Russia in a bizarre patriotic TV show on state media Monday.

The program showed North Korean and Russian officials weeping as they viewed footage of Kim kneeling over a flag-draped casket of one of the hundreds of Koreans he had sent into Moscow’s meat grinder in Ukraine.

Culture Minister Olga Lyubimova traveled to Pyongyang for the TV show and she spoke glowingly about the sacrifices of North Korean troops for the Russian cause.
