Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's high-profile visit to North Korea marks a significant deepening of ties between Moscow and Pyongyang. Lavrov met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, praising their relationship as an 'invincible brotherhood' and securing North Korea's clear support for Russia's objectives in the Ukraine war. The two countries are increasingly aligning against Western powers, with North Korea reportedly supplying military aid to Russia. Russia has also issued warnings to the US, South Korea, and Japan against forming security alliances targeting North Korea. This growing partnership signals a strategic challenge to Western influence in the region and highlights the shifting alliances driven by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
