- Kim Jong Un vowed to expand ties with Russia and backs Moscow's victory in what he termed a "sacred war," with one headline noting he also pledged continued support for Moscow.
- Kim Jong Un separately declared North Korea "will always join hands with the Chinese comrades," reaffirming Beijing ties alongside the Russia alignment.
Why it matters: Kim Jong Un's public framing of Russia's war as 'sacred' and his pledge to expand ties cements North Korea's alignment with Moscow. His simultaneous reassurance of partnership with China points to North Korea positioning itself alongside two major powers.
