North Korea reaffirms support for Russia's war in Ukraine, with estimated 11,000 troops sent to aid Russia in the conflict. Kim Jong Un expressed "unconditional support" to Moscow in talks with Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, vowing solidarity in tackling the "root cause of the Ukrainian crisis." The North Korean leader's renewed backing of Russia amidst the conflict follows US President Donald Trump's recent resumption of military supplies to Ukraine.
