Lavrov Says Russia and North Korea Are Fighting for a New World Order

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia and North Korea are jointly fighting to establish what he called a new and righteous world order, according to North Korean state media KCNA.

Lavrov added that North Korean service personnel are involved in efforts to push what he described as a Ukrainian Nazi clique and foreign mercenaries out of the Kursk region. The comments were carried by KCNA and circulated in a Telegram post.

The statement reinforces the public alignment between Moscow and Pyongyang amid ongoing fighting in Kursk, though the claims were not independently verified.
