Russia and North Korea Collaborate Militarily Amid Ukraine Conflict, Seek New World Order
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Russia and North Korea are working together to establish a "new and righteous world order" based on equality and national interests. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reportedly sent around 14,000 troops to assist Russia in repelling a major Ukrainian incursion in the Kursk region in late 2024. Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged Pyongyang's support following Russia's declared victory in May 2025. Concerns remain about military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang amid ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
