    North Korea has confirmed that dictator Kim Jong Un “gave the order” to bail out Vladimir Putin by sending North Korean troops to fight in Putin’s “holy war” against Ukraine. The troop deal was confirmed at a meeting between North Korean foreign minister Choe Son Hui and the Kremlin’s top diplomat Sergei Lavrov in Moscow. More than 10,000 North Korean troops are reported to be deployed to Russia, with some already in the area of operations. The Pyongyang envoy said: “From the very beginning of the special military operation, respected comrade Chairman of State Affairs Kim Jong Un gave the...

    A local journalist in Iran publicly criticized Russia on Monday for failing to provide promised defense systems, leaving Iran vulnerable during recent Israeli attacks. According to Iran International, reporter Ali-Akbar Saadati from Kar va Kargar directly questioned the Iranian government on a daily basis on Russia’s unfulfilled commitments to supply S-400 anti-aircraft systems and Su-35 fighters. “Whenever they faced difficulties in Ukraine, suffered misfortune, or got stuck in the quagmire of the Ukraine war, they came running to us, asking for drones, missiles, everything,” Saadati said, expressing frustration over Iran’s isolation during Israeli airstrikes. “On the night Israel attacked us,...

    Vladimir Putin has admitted that sanctions on Russia and worker shortages have contributed to economic turbulence in the country. The Russian president made the comments days after Russia's Central Bank raised its key interest rate to a record 21 percent—higher than the emergency 20 percent level introduced in the aftermath of Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine when facing Western sanctions and isolation from the global financial system. -snip- Russia's economic growth has been fueled by record levels of military spending but a lack of workers exacerbated by troop losses in Ukraine and a brain drain of those avoiding the draft,...

    Times UK ^ | 10/27/2024 | George Grylls
    Iran has been left powerless to export ballistic missiles to Russia for up to two years following Israeli airstrikes on weapons factories across the country. Over 100 aircraft, including F-35 Lightnings, F-16 Falcons, F-15 Eagles, air-to-air refuellers and drones, took part in the Israeli attacks in the early hours of Saturday morning. In particular, Israel appears to have targeted Iranian “planetary mixers”, used to make solid fuel for ballistic missiles. -snip- The exchange of weapons goes both ways and Iran had been reliant on Russian air defences to see off Israeli attacks. Iran purchased the S-300 air defence system from...

    North Korea has sent 3,000 troops to Russia to support its war against Ukraine, South Korean lawmakers said on Wednesday after being briefed by the national intelligence agency, an estimate that is twice the previous figure. Pyongyang had promised to provide a total of about 10,000 troops, whose deployment was expected to be completed by December, the lawmakers told journalists. The latest numbers came after Seoul's National Intelligence Service said on Friday the North had sent some 1,500 special forces to Russia by ship. "Signs of troops being trained inside North Korea were detected in September and October," Park Sun-won,...

    South Korea is renewing its threat to send weapons to Ukraine, days after releasing intelligence alleging that North Korea plans to deploy a large number of troops to support Russia’s invasion. South Korea will consider sending Ukraine “weapons for defense and attack,” according to the Yonhap news agency, which cited an unnamed senior presidential official on Tuesday. Yonhap also reported Seoul may send military and intelligence personnel to Ukraine to analyze North Korean battlefield tactics and assist in interrogations of captured North Koreans. -snip- By sending troops to Ukraine, North Korea’s military could gain valuable battlefield experience, secure financial support...

    Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, lashed out at Ukraine and South Korea on Tuesday in the wake of reports that Pyongyang is sending troops to Russia, calling the two countries "bad dogs bred by the U.S." and threatening to unleash nuclear weapons. In her statement to the Korean Central News Agency, the dictator’s sister warned that a "military provocation against a nuclear weapons state" could lead to a "horrible" and "unimaginable" situation. She scorned Seoul and Kyiv's "reckless remarks" about states with nuclear weapons — which she repeatedly said North Korea has — describing...

The minister warned the Russian ambassador Georgiy Zinoviev that Seoul will respond by mobilizing "all available means in cooperation with the international community to any acts that threaten the core interests of South Korea."...

    The Kremlin has refused to publish details of "high-level conversations" between top officials, a spokesperson said after Donald Trump said he had threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin with a strike on his capital if Moscow invaded Ukraine. Trump, the Republican candidate for elections now just two weeks away, told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published on Friday that he had warned Putin—with whom he said he had a "great relationship"—not to go to war in Ukraine or he would "hit" Moscow.

Trump stated this in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "I said. ‘Vladimir, if you pursue Ukraine, I will hit you so hard you won't even believe it.

    Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday he has told former President Donald Trump that Kyiv will pursue nuclear weapons for defense if it doesn’t gain entry to NATO. “In a conversation with Donald Trump, I told him it comes to this,” Zelensky said in Ukrainian while speaking to the European Council in Brussels. “The outcome is either Ukraine will be a nuclear power — and that will be our protection — or we should have some kind of alliance. Other than NATO, today we don’t know of any effective alliances.” Zelensky, 46, emphasized that Ukraine is choosing to pursue membership...

    THE Kremlin has rushed to deny claims that Vladimir Putin's health is failing in an unprecedented move. It comes after the Russian president, 72, admitted in a televised meeting that he has been regularly undergoing medical examinations at a top hospital in Moscow. "Doctors at the Central Clinical Hospital, where I undergo all sorts of regular examinations, also recommend getting vaccinated with domestically produced drugs," Putin said. Also part of the meeting was Russia's health minister Mikhail Murashko who supported his boss's calls for people to get vaccinations. However, attention was quickly drawn to the dictator's comments after years of...

Another pro-Moscow milblogger said that the Sukhoi Su-34 aircraft had been downed by a Western-supplied F-16. Neither report has been confirmed and Newsweek has contacted the Russian and Ukrainian defense ministries for comment over the unverified claims which have sparked much speculation on social media. The Telegram channel Fighterbomber posted on Saturday a message which looked like a tribute to a lost Su-34 fighter jet. Next to an image of the supersonic medium-range fighter bomber, which...

    VLADIMIR Putin has mysteriously demolished one of his most beloved palaces amid claims the paranoid tyrant is scared of being targeted by a Ukrainian drone. Satellite images show how Putin's pricey Bocharov Ruchey palace which overlooks the Black Sea in Sochi has been bulldozed with just a patch of empty land left behind. An investigation by the Russian opposition news site Proekt has revealed that the palace may have torn down because Vlad is “truly afraid” of being killed in a kamikaze drone strike. It is believed it was decimated by the dictator back in February or March of this...

Russian pro-war Z channels initially claimed that a Ukrainian war plane had been hit by a Russian aircraft. However, the burnt wreckage on the ground near Ukrainian-controlled Kostiantynivka had distinct Russian insignia on...

    Former President Donald Trump thanked a surprised-looking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for ending the “impeachment hoax” ahead of their Friday meeting. “[Zelensky] said, ‘President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong,'” Trump said as Zelensky stood silently by his side ahead of their New York City meeting. “He said it loud and clear, and the impeachment hoax died right there.” The comment referred to Trump’s first impeachment in 2019, which centered on accusations that Trump pressured Zelensky to investigate his political opponent, Joe Biden, and his son Hunter Biden, in exchange for military aid from the United States to fight off Russian-backed...

    VLADIMIR Putin's top propagandist has seemingly turned on the tyrant and hinted at ending his 25 years of "catastrophic" rule in Russia. Popular Russian TV host Vladimir Solovyov was live on air when he argued that "a resignation is necessary" while referring to the embarrassing Kursk siege that has left Putin red-faced. Russia has taken a massive hit at the country's western borders near Kursk where Kyiv's troops managed to grab Russian land for the first time since World War Two. Speaking of the dire consequences of the Ukrainian onslaught, Solovyov hinted at a regime change inside Russia, saying punishing...
