“On April 26, by order of Russian President Vladimir Putin, he will attend the opening ceremony of the memorial complex and Museum of Military Exploits of the Heroes of the Foreign Military Operation, dedicated to the courage of Korean soldiers who participated in the liberation of the Kursk Region from neo-Nazis.”
MISLEADING
The claim specifies that the attendance was 'by order of Russian President Vladimir Putin' and details the memorial's dedication to 'Korean soldiers who participated in the liberation of the Kursk Region from neo-Nazis.' While the evidence confirms Volodin attended an opening ceremony honoring soldiers in Pyongyang (web_search: Russia's Duma speaker visits N. Korea for opening of museum honoring...), the evidence does not confirm that Putin ordered his attendance, nor does it provide the specific context of 'liberation of the Kursk Region from neo-Nazis' as the primary focus of the ceremony.
