Russian and North Korean officials violated U.N. resolutions regarding arms, troops and refined petroleum shipments throughout 2024, a U.N. report says.

Kim Jong Un said he would "encourage all the measures taken by the Russian leadership" to resolve the war in Ukraine.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un restated he “unconditionally” supports all Russian actions as it wages war in Ukraine, as he welcomed Moscow’s top diplomat to a newly built beach resort on his country’s east coast.
