Russia has launched its first direct commercial flights to North Korea in over thirty years, marking a significant deepening of relations between the two isolated nations. Operated by Nordwind Airlines, the new Moscow-Pyongyang route will initially run once a month, providing a rare travel link for Russian tourists and officials as Western destinations remain largely inaccessible due to sanctions. This move follows the recent resumption of rail connections and increased economic exchanges, including North Korean goods appearing in Russian markets. The direct flights are seen as both a symbol and facilitator of growing cooperation, encompassing economic, political, and potentially military dimensions. Analysts view this development as part of a broader strategic partnership amid shifting global alliances.
