Kim Jong Un Meets Russia's Minister In Pyongyang As Ukraine War Deepens Ties


Kim met with Russian Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology Alexander Kozlov, who is leading a delegation to an inter-governmental panel on "cooperation in trade, economy, science and technology," the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
