The two delegations will take part in the celebration of the 70th anniversary of "Victory Day" on Thursday in Pyongyang, state media agency KCNA reported, with Chinese Communist Party Politburo member Li Hongzhong leading the Beijing group. Russia's Defence Ministry said it had been invited by its North Korean counterpart and would attend the Victory Day events. The ministry posted a short video on its Telegram messaging app showing Shoigu being greeted by a North Korean military official on a red carpet at an airport's tarmac. North Korea closed its border in early 2020 to all trade and diplomatic exchanges, even with its main economic and political partners China and Russia. The United States has accused North Korea of providing military aid to Russia for the war in Ukraine, a claim that both Pyongyang and Moscow deny.

Belarus said it had no choice but to host Russia's tactical nuclear weapons. "The deployment of tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus is therefore one of the steps of strategic deterrence" against the West, Volfovich said, according to Reuters. Russia and Belarus signed the deal last week formalizing the deployment of the tactical nuclear weapons after Russian President Vladimir Putin originally announced the plan earlier this year. While Moscow will retain control of the tactical nuclear weapons, the Post reported, it's unclear when exactly they'll arrive to the recently built storage facilities in Belarus. It's currently unclear how many tactical nuclear weapons will be deployed, the Post added.
