Russia has launched its first direct commercial flights between Moscow and Pyongyang in decades, marking a significant deepening of ties between the two isolated nations. The flights, operated by Nordwind Airlines, will initially run once a month and come as Russia faces limited travel options due to Western sanctions over the war in Ukraine. This new air link follows the recent resumption of rail service and increased economic cooperation, including North Korean goods appearing in Russian markets. The move is widely seen as a sign of growing strategic and economic partnership, with both countries seeking to bolster their positions amid international isolation. Experts warn that this alliance could have broader geopolitical implications, potentially shifting dynamics in the region.
