North Korea's Kim Jong-un was seen repatriating soldiers' remains, highlighting the deepening military ties between North Korea and Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Despite the claims of full control in Luhansk, there has been no confirmation from Ukrainian officials, indicating ongoing tensions and uncertainty in the region.
