North Korean troops fought in Russia and marched at its Victory Day parade, as Moscow and Pyongyang sign long-term military cooperation. They call ties 'unprecedented'; the West warns of a growing threat.
The summary above is a neutral framing. Below, each side reports the same story in its own words — judge for yourself.
