This is reported by Reuters.
“Let’s see. We could also conduct training. Why not,” said Putin, answering the question of whether the Russian Federation will conduct joint military exercises with the DPRK.

On November 1, Zelensky once again reproached the Western partners for the fact that they “only watching”, while Russia is accumulating foreign troops near Ukraine.
On November 4, the president announced that
