North Korea's Kim offers Russia full support on Ukraine in Lavrov talks - War in Ukraine
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un offered Moscow his full support for its war in Ukraine during talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Pyongyang state media said Sunday. Lavrov's visit to North Korea was the latest in a series of high-profile trips by top Moscow officials as both countries deepen military and political ties amid Russia's offensive against Kyiv. Pyongyang sent thousands of troops to Russia's Kursk region to oust Ukrainian forces and has also provided the Russian army with artillery shells and missiles. Moscow said Lavrov's talks with Kim were held in a "warm comradely atmosphere." Lavrov expressed "sincere gratitude to Pyongyang" for its role in Kursk and support of Russia's operation, the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement. Moscow also said the two sides "agreed" that the West was to blame for "the growing tension" on the Korean peninsula. The ministry earlier posted a video on Telegram of the two men shaking hands and greeting each other with a hug. It said the talks were held in Wonsan, a city on North Korea's east coast where a massive resort was opened earlier this month -- one of leader Kim's pet projects. Kim told Lavrov that Pyongyang was "ready to unconditionally support and encourage all the measures taken by the Russian leadership as regards the tackling of the root cause of the Ukrainian crisis", KCNA said. The North Korean leader also expressed a "firm belief that the Russian army and people would surely win victory in accomplishing the sacred cause of defending the dignity and basic interests of the country". He lauded Putin's "outstanding leadership", the report said. The two men otherwise discussed "important matters for faithfully implementing the agreements made at the historic DPRK-Russia summit talks in June 2024", KCNA said, referring to North Korea by its official acronym. Lavrov told Kim that Putin "hopes for continued direct contacts in the very near future", according to Russia's TASS news agency. He left Pyongyang and landed in Beijing on Sunday to attend a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Foreign Ministers' Council, TASS reported on its Telegram account. - Invincible alliance - Ahead of Lavrov's recent visit, Russia announced that it would begin twice-a-week flights between Moscow and Pyongyang. Lavrov lauded Wonsan as "a good tourist attraction", adding: "We hope it will be popular not only with local citizens, but also with Russians." KCNA also issued a statement on Sunday on the meeting between Lavrov and his North Korean counterpart Choe Son Hui, held a day earlier in the coastal city, saying that bilateral ties were becoming an "invincible alliance". Moscow "expressed its firm support for the DPRK side in its just efforts for defending the security of the state" during the meeting, KCNA said. In return, Choe demonstrated "full sympathy and support for all the measures taken by the Russian government to remove the root cause of the Ukrainian conflict". TASS earlier reported that Lavrov thanked the "heroic" North Korean soldiers who have been deployed to aid Russia during the ministerial meeting. Around 600 North Korean soldiers have been killed and thousands more wounded fighting for Russia, Seoul has said. North Korea only confirmed it had deployed troops to support Russia's war in April, and admitted its soldiers had been killed in combat. Both sides "emphasised their determination to jointly counter the hegemonic aspirations of extra-regional players, which are leading to escalating tensions in Northeast Asia and throughout the Asia-Pacific region", Russia's foreign ministry said. The two heavily sanctioned nations signed a military deal last year, including a mutual defence clause, during a rare visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin to Pyongyang.

Lavrov warns against anti-Russia alliances in Asia during North Korea visit
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Saturday warned the United States and its allies against creating security threats for Moscow and Pyongyang, praising North Korea for its military support in Ukraine, which he described as 'invincible brotherhood.' Speaking to journalists after talks with his North Korean counterpart Choe Son Hui in the resort city of Wonsan, Lavrov said Moscow and Pyongyang's cooperation contributes to stability on the Korean peninsula. 'Russia warns the United States, South Korea, and Japan against misusing their relations to build alliances directed against any party, including the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Russia,' Lavrov said, according to Russian media. Lavrov said North Korea's leadership had drawn the right conclusions long before what he called the 'Israeli-American strikes against Iran.' 'And for this very reason, that these conclusions were reached in a timely manner, no one thought of using force against Korea, even though the military buildup around it with the participation of the United States, South Korea and Japan continues,' he said. The Russian minister added that Moscow understands Pyongyang's reasons for its nuclear programme and respects its actions, noting that the 'technologies used by the DPRK are the product of the work of its scientists.' UKRAINE COOPERATION Lavrov directly addressed the participation of North Korean forces in the conflict in Ukraine, saying their involvement in the 'liberation' of Russia's Kursk region was direct proof of the nations' strong bond. He said the North Korean side had affirmed its 'unequivocal support' for all of Russia's objectives in its special military operation. 'Russia had no reason to refuse Pyongyang's help in the special operation; it was a sincere expression of solidarity,' Lavrov said, adding that any decisions on further assistance were up to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Choe Son Hui, the North Korean foreign minister, said her country supported Russia's right to protect its territorial integrity and sovereignty 'unconditionally and steadfastly.' The two nations have deepened their ties since signing a mutual defence pact last year. Western governments have accused the Kremlin of trading Russian military technologies for North Korean weapons and manpower for the war in Ukraine, a move they say gives Pyongyang's army modern combat experience. Ukraine's military intelligence chief, Kyrylo Budanov, said in an interview with Bloomberg that North Korea was now supplying Russia with up to 40% of its needed ammunition. South Korea's intelligence service has reported that Pyongyang may be preparing to deploy additional troops to Russia after sending more than 10,000 soldiers to fight. Lavrov's visit is the latest high-level meeting between the two countries. It comes less than a month after Pyongyang reportedly agreed to send 6,000 military engineers and construction workers to Russia's Kursk region. During his visit, Lavrov also dismissed attempts to create a 'multinational force to protect Ukraine' as 'pure fantasy.' The Russian foreign minister arrived in North Korea for a three-day visit as part of a 'second round of strategic dialogue,' his ministry's spokesperson said. He is expected to travel to China for a Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting after his visit.
