The Kremlin confirmed that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has declined to attend the Victory Day parade in Moscow on May 9, 2025, which will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War.
North Korea will send an ambassador-level official to participate as a representative, and the Choson soldiers stationed in Russia who were originally scheduled to participate in the Red Square parade will also not make an appearance.
This news has been confirmed by multiple media outlets and posts on the X platform.
It seems there is some misunderstanding between the two sides; what happened? Just a few days ago, they looked like close brothers.
