Belarus has suggested a terrifying axis with Russia and North Korea , as Alexander Lukashenko touted scary a new partnership. The President said flanked by Vladimir Putin : ‘I think that we can think about three-way cooperation. North Korea, Russia . ‘I know that the Koreans have great interest in you.

We discuss this openly; we never violate anything; and in this case we are not going to violate anything. ‘But, of course, we will look for opportunities to develop Russian-North Korean relations.’ Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesperson, said that no agreements or arms deals had been signed by the two leaders during the visit.

In a resolution adopted by lawmakers in Strasbourg on Wednesday, the International Criminal Court is being urged to issue a warrant for Lukashenko’s arrest. The Belarusian President, it claims, enabled ” Russia’s unjustified war of aggression” and therefore carries direct responsibility” for the destruction and damage caused to Ukraine . In a separate charge, it also accuses Belarus of playing a role in the forcible deportation of Ukrainian children from territories temporarily occupied by Russian troops.

Kyiv’s defence forces confirmed they carried out an overnight airstrike on Russian boats docked in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, damaging a landing ship and a submarine as well as a repair facility. Russia claimed its troops intercepted seven of the ten missiles launched at the port but conceded in a Telegram post they had suffered damages in the attack. According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the strike could ultimately have “reverberating impacts” on Moscow and leave the dry dock “inoperable” until fully cleared.
