Pyongyang’s favorite nepo baby, Kim Jong Un, unveiled a shiny new memorial this week to celebrate 6,000 North Korean soldiers who successfully completed their internship in a shallow Russian ditch.

The Supreme Leader praised the fallen men for their "unshakable commitment" to being human shields for a billionaire in a tracksuit.

"These brave heroes died defending Russia’s right to ignore Google Maps," Kim stated, while wiping lobster juice from his chin during the ceremony.

Kim confirmed that the remaining 8,000 troops are currently enjoying a vibrant team-bonding session in the Kursk region, involving high-speed metal fragments and zero medical insurance.

The partnership ensures that North Korea provides the meat, while Putin provides vague promises of technology that doesn't explode immediately upon use.

Local analysts compare the move to a Singaporean SME boss sending staff to a regional office in a warzone and calling it a "valuable learning opportunity" for their portfolio.

To honor the sacrifice, the families of the deceased will receive a handwritten note and a commemorative potato, provided they don't cry too loudly.

"This is the ultimate upskilling," Kim remarked, noting that being dead is the most stable employment his citizens have ever seen.
