"Russia-Ukraine War: Kim Jong Un's Invitation to Putin Raises Concerns"

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un toured Russian military-related facilities, including a plant that makes fighter jets, as Moscow tempts him with sophisticated technology that United Nations sanctions largely prohibit. The tour highlights how Moscow could exacerbate the North Korean threat in response to Western support for Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to visit Washington next week to seek additional military and humanitarian aid amid a Ukrainian counteroffensive against Russia. In cybersecurity news, several Russian journalists and media workers have received notifications from Apple that their iPhones may have been targeted by "state-sponsored attackers," following the publication of an investigation showing that the CEO of an exiled Russian news website had been infected by Pegasus surveillance spyware. Lastly, Russia has expelled two American diplomats, declaring them "persona non grata," in response to a case involving a Russian citizen who worked at the U.S. Consulate in Vladivostok and is now charged with illegally collecting information about the war in Ukraine.
