Russia Considers Military Aid to North Korea Amid Rising Tensions

Russian President Vladimir Putin has hinted at the possibility of supplying weapons to North Korea in response to Western arms supplies to Ukraine. During his trip to Asia, Putin directly warned the US and its allies that Russia is willing to arm North Korea if they continue to provide sophisticated weapons to Kyiv. This warning comes as a mutual defense agreement between Russia and North Korea has been revived, which stipulates that if one country finds itself in a state of war, the other will come to its aid.
