North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has described his partnership with Russia as an “invincible alliance” in a New Year’s letter to Vladimir Putin.
Kim praised expanding military and economic cooperation and said the two nations would continue to stand united against Western pressure.
The message comes after a year of growing ties, including missile and artillery transfers to Russia and high level exchanges between both governments.
Analysts say Kim’s wording signals even deeper alignment in 2026 as Moscow leans on Pyongyang for battlefield support and North Korea seeks diplomatic cover and advanced technology from the Kremlin.
