SEOUL (Reuters) -Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the coastal city of Wonsan on Saturday, where he described the two nations' relations as "an invincible fighting brotherhood",

Pyongyang dispatched hundreds of troops to Russia’s Kursk area to drive out Kyiv’s forces and supplied the Russian army with artillery rounds and missiles

Thus far, however, he has said comparatively little about the growing strength of the Kim regime in North Korea, leading some analysts to suggest the administration is neglecting one of the most critical security issues in Asia.
