Russia has launched its first direct commercial flights between Moscow and Pyongyang in decades, signaling a significant strengthening of ties between the two isolated nations. The new air route, operated by Nordwind Airlines, comes as Russia faces increasing international isolation due to the war in Ukraine and seeks new partners. The flights are expected to run once a month, with ticket prices around $570, and follow other recent moves such as the resumption of passenger rail service and increased economic cooperation, including North Korean goods appearing in Russian markets. This development highlights a deepening alliance that could have broader geopolitical implications, especially as both countries face Western sanctions. Experts warn that the growing partnership may reshape regional dynamics and contribute to a new axis of isolation on the global stage.
