Russia and Iran are deepening their alliance with weapons and nuclear intelligence exchanges while the West still searches for a diplomatic solution in vain.

Thousands of North Korean soldiers are already participating in Russia's war against Ukraine. At Kim Jong Un's initiative, they have been sent to gain real combat experience—for future wars.

With a staggering 60-kilometer range and 240mm shells weighing nearly 200 kg, North Korea’s M1991 multiple-launch rocket system (MLRS) is a deadly new threat to Ukrainian border cities.

For 1,000 days, Russia’s allies have kept supplies flowing, sanctions sidestepped, and weapons streaming into the battlefield—and that’s only the beginning.

Isolated and nearly ally-less, North Korea has thrust itself onto the world stage, even deploying its troops to back Russia in its full-scale war against Ukraine. North Korean propagandists have joined Russia’s chorus, adding Ukraine to their narrative. But who are these propagandists, and just how far does their influence reach?

Despite repeated attempts, Russian forces have failed to dislodge Ukrainian troops from their positions in Russia’s Kursk region. Now, North Korean troop reinforcements are on the horizon.
