North Korea on Cusp of Aiding Russia in Ukraine
U.S. officials are voicing concern that Russia and North Korea—both heavily sanctioned by the West—are drawing closer together militarily.

U.S. officials are voicing concern that Russia and North Korea—both heavily sanctioned by the West—are drawing closer together militarily.

Moscow and Beijing have also been firming up relations this week, as China intends to move forward with Russia on plans for a moon base by the 2030s.

Having accused North Korea of providing Russia with military aid—a claim denied both by Pyongyang and Moscow—it is certain that the West will be keeping a steady watch on an upcoming meeting.

North Korea’s provocative act of entering South Korean airspace with what were likely surveillance drones was the first one in over five years.

There were no casualties on either side, but the missile exchange marks a further step in the deterioration of relations between the two Koreas as the U.S. fears further nuclear tests by Pyongyang.

The North Korean army launched an intermediate-range ballistic missile, which flew over Japan. South Korea and the United States responded on the same day with precision strike drills and several missiles launched into the sea.

The attempt to intimidate comes as Vice President Kamala Harris is travelling to visit Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said that his country’s status as a nuclear-armed state had now become “irreversible,” and that no amount of sanctions would force him to destroy his nuclear arsenal.

Reports have been confirmed that Russia is seeking hefty restocking of its armament from North Korea.
