Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov arrived in North Korea on Friday, meeting with the hermit nation’s military and political leaders as the communist dictatorships deepen their ties — and the world fears World War III.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced the sit-down but did not specify with whom Belousov would meet, but it signals the latest advancement in Pyongyang and Moscow’s relationship about a month after North Korea sent at least 10,000 troops to assist Russia in its war on Ukraine.
