Putin's Planned Visit to North Korea Raises Global Concerns

US and South Korea warn against deepening military ties between Moscow and Pyongyang amid reports of upcoming visit.

Putin's visit to North Korea would be his first in 24 years, following Kim Jong Un's trip to Russia last September.
Officials fear the visit could lead to violations of UN sanctions and increased regional instability.
North Korea has reportedly supplied weapons to Russia for use in Ukraine, despite denials from both nations.
Analysts suggest the visit may formalize military cooperation and economic exchanges between the two countries.
US and South Korean diplomats are closely monitoring the situation and have held emergency discussions.
