Summary
For the first time, there is a road link between North Korea and Russia. Among other things, Pyongyang supplies ammunition and has sent up to 15,000 soldiers to support Moscow in the Ukraine war, according to estimates by the South Korean intelligence service. The construction work was completed after “literally 16 months”.
Furthermore, North Korea and Russia share only a slightly more than 17 kilometres long land border along the border river Tumannaja (Tumen). Previously, the two states were only connected by land by a railway bridge that had already been opened in 1959. North Korea is an important ally for Russia in its war against Ukraine, which began in 2022.
In addition, Moscow and Pyongyang agreed to build the bridge in 2024. The road connection simplifies logistics between the two states. © dpa-infocom, dpa:260907-930-647105/1.
