“While the Workers’ Party newspaper Rodong Sinmun publicly announced the burial of Korean War veterans—Republic Double Hero Kim Ki Woo and Republic Heroes Ri Yong Je and Ri Dong Gyu—at the Korean War Veterans Cemetery on July 21, a source revealed that Korean People’s Army soldiers who died in Russia’s war were secretly laid to rest alongside the 1950s-era heroes.”

“However, the burial of Russia-Ukraine war casualties was conducted privately within extremely limited scope. Considering domestic and international circumstances, authorities chose not to hold public ceremonies, instead conducting what was described as a “primary internal burial ceremony” under directives from the General Political Bureau of the Workers’ Party of Korea.”
