Russia has launched its first direct commercial flights between Moscow and Pyongyang in over 70 years, signaling a significant deepening of relations with North Korea. The new air route, operated by Nordwind Airlines, comes amid Russia's growing international isolation due to the war in Ukraine and limited travel options for Russian citizens. This move follows other recent collaborations, including resumed rail links and increased economic exchanges such as North Korean goods appearing in Russian markets. The direct flights are seen as both a practical and symbolic step, reflecting a strategic partnership that could have broader geopolitical implications. Experts warn that this strengthened alliance may shift dynamics on the Korean Peninsula and contribute to a new, more confrontational world order.
