Putin Eyes North Korea Visit Amid Global Isolation
In a strategic move, Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit North Korea, aiming to bolster relations with Kim Jong-un’s regime as Russia faces heightened international isolation over its actions in Ukraine.
This visit marks a significant step for Putin, who seeks to reinforce alliances outside of the Western sphere of influence. The engagement with North Korea underscores Russia’s efforts to establish stronger ties with countries that have been less critical of its military campaign in Ukraine. By connecting with Kim Jong-un, Putin is signaling Russia’s readiness to engage with partners that can offer support or neutrality in the face of widespread condemnation and sanctions from the West.
