North Korea vows to stand by Russia until it achieves victory in Ukraine

International Editor

North Korea’s foreign minister says her country will stand alongside Russia until it achieves victory in Ukraine.

On a visit to her counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Moscow, Choe Son-Hui failed to shed any light on whether Russia is providing nuclear technology to North Korea – in exchange for the thousands of North Korean troops deployed in Russia’s war against Ukraine.

And there are concerns over whether South Korea might get involved by sending military support to the Ukrainians.
