SEOUL, March 17 (UPI) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected a memorial museum under construction to honor troops dispatched to fight for Russia in Ukraine, state media reported Tuesday, as Pyongyang steps up efforts to commemorate its involvement in the war.
Kim visited the Memorial Museum of Combat Feats at Overseas Military Operations on Sunday, where construction has reached about 93%, the official Korean Central News Agency said.
The complex includes a "heroes' cemetery," an exhibition area displaying captured weapons and other memorial installations, according to KCNA.
Kim toured the site and said the museum should serve as "an aggregate showing the level of our architecture and fine art creation."
