Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will travel to North Korea in the latest sign of the countries’ deepening ties during Russia’s war in Ukraine

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will visit North Korea this week, Pyongyang’s state media reported, less than a month after leader Kim Jong Un agreed to send thousands of military workers to help Moscow.

A new book alleges that President Donald Trump told donors he threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin with bombing Moscow if Russia invaded Ukraine.

Russia said it could not confirm the veracity of President Donald Trump's claim that he told Russian President Vladimir Putin he would bomb Moscow if Ukraine was invaded. Audio of Trump speaking at a private meeting with fundraisers in 2024 about the conversation with Putin was broadcast by CNN.

The truth is, he believed me 10%,' Trump said of the threat he made to Putin that he would bomb Moscow if Russia invaded Ukraine.

Ukraine said it struck a Russian air base on Saturday, while Russia continued to attack Ukraine with hundreds of drones overnight as part of a stepped-up bombing campaign that has dashed hopes for a breakthrough in efforts to end the more than 3-year-old war.
