North Korea escalates tensions on the Korean Peninsula while supporting Russia in its conflict with Ukraine.

Kim Jong Un has called on North Korea's military to focus all efforts on completing war preparations, citing the Korean Peninsula as the world's biggest crisis hotspot.
Kim accused the United States and South Korea of exacerbating tensions to unprecedented levels, following recent military cooperation between these nations.
In addition to sending over 10,000 troops, North Korea has supplied Russia with heavy artillery, including 50 self-propelled howitzers and 20 multiple rocket launchers, to aid in its war against Ukraine.
A recently ratified defense pact between North Korea and Russia has strengthened their military alliance, raising concerns about regional stability.
Amid increasing military maneuvers by South Korea and its allies, debates in South Korea about acquiring nuclear weapons have intensified, with a majority of the population reportedly in favor.
