Lavrov says Russia, North Korea fighting for 'new, righteous' world order

Lavrov said Moscow and Pyongyang will expand cooperation after North Korea sent an estimated 14,000 soldiers to help Russia in Kursk, KCNA reported.

  • On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui that Moscow and Pyongyang are working to establish a "new and righteous world order," according to KCNA.
  • North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sent an estimated 14,000 soldiers to Russia in late 2024 to repel a major Ukrainian incursion into the Kursk region; Russian President Vladimir Putin declared victory in May 2025.
  • Lavrov framed the Korean People's Army participation as proof of "militant friendship" and characterized President Volodymyr Zelensky's government as a "Ukrainian Nazi clique," a claim Zelensky and Western allies dismiss as absurd.
  • Pyongyang has provided Russia with millions of artillery and mortar rounds, ballistic missiles, and rocket systems, prompting South Korea and Western countries to worry Moscow may be aiding North Korean weapons development.
  • Earlier in August, Zelensky warned that up to 50,000 North Korean soldiers could be sent to Russia in a new deployment, potentially increasing military pressure on Ukraine beyond the initial 14,000-troop contribution.
