Russia-North Korea Military Alliance Formed
The transfer of thousands of North Korean soldiers and artillery shells to Russia has bolstered its military capabilities in Ukraine, allowing for increased attacks on civilian infrastructure. Russian President Vladimir Putin's meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un last summer solidified the partnership, which is seen as a reciprocal gesture for Moscow's provision of air defense systems and equipment to Pyongyang.
This cooperation poses significant risks to global stability, particularly given its intent to assert military might. The partnership is part of a broader effort to counterbalance US influence in the region, with Russia and North Korea strengthening their ties to create a united front against Western powers.
