As North Korean leader Kim Jong Un continues his visit to Russia, he was accompanied by President Vladimir Putin's defence minister on Saturday.
He inspected Russian nuclear-capable strategic bombers, hypersonic missiles and warships with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.
Kim was greeted at Russia's Knevichi airfield.
The North Korean leader then inspected a guard of honour.
The United States and South Korea fear the revival of Moscow's friendship with Pyongyang could give Kim access to some of Russia's sensitive missiles and other technology while helping arm Russia in its war in Ukraine.
The battle for Kursk takes a dramatic turn as Ukrainian forces escalate their offensive against North Korean troops. As tensions rise on the frontlines, Kim Jong-un’s military units find themselves under direct threat, amplifying the already high stakes of the ongoing conflict. This intensification marks a pivotal moment in the war, with international implications and growing concerns about regional stability.

The Kremlin has strongly refuted recent claims suggesting that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had spoken in recent days, calling the reports "pure fiction." Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the allegations, which had been reported by The Washington Post and Reuters, labelling them as a "complete lie." According to these reports, Trump had supposedly urged Putin not to escalate the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Peskov mocked the rumours, describing the information as "false" and criticised the quality of such reports being published by reputable outlets. He further stated that, as of now, there were no concrete plans for Putin to engage in talks with Trump, despite earlier reports hinting at potential discussions between the two leaders.
