What is the significance of North Korea providing medical rehabilitation to wounded Russian soldiers, and what does this reveal about the evolving relationship between the two countries?

Hundreds of Russian soldiers wounded in the Ukraine war have received medical rehabilitation and rest in North Korea, a previously unreported development highlighting the growing military and political alignment between the two countries. This cooperation includes the deployment of over 10,000 North Korean troops to support Russian forces in the Kursk region, according to Western estimates. Aleksei, a Russian soldier, described his experience at a Wonsan health center, noting adequate facilities but a lack of expected medical treatment and bland food.
