Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is set to visit North Korea this week, in a move that underscores the deepening alignment between Moscow and Pyongyang as Russia seeks support amid its ongoing war in Ukraine.
The visit follows months of growing military and political cooperation between the two countries, including reported arms transfers from North Korea to Russia — a claim both nations deny but which Western intelligence agencies continue to monitor closely.
Lavrov’s trip aims to cement strategic ties and follow up on the summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held in Russia earlier this year. Analysts see the visit as part of Moscow’s broader effort to counter Western isolation and secure military supplies from friendly authoritarian regimes.
For Pyongyang, closer ties with Moscow offer economic and diplomatic lifelines as international sanctions continue to tighten. But the deepening partnership also risks drawing North Korea more directly into the geopolitical fault lines of the Ukraine conflict.
Lavrov’s visit marks a symbolic and strategic moment — one that reflects Russia’s pivot toward pariah partnerships and North Korea’s opportunistic re-entry onto the global stage.
