International reactions to the 2018 North Korea–United States summit

North Korea will stand by Russia until its "victory" in Ukraine, Pyongyang's foreign minister said in Moscow amid growing fears that the reclusive country will enter the Ukraine conflict.

Pope Francis has asked Pyongyang to invite him to North Korea, saying in a televised interview on Friday that he would not turn down a chance to visit and work for peace.

A potential papal visit to the isolated, nuclear-armed country was previously floated in 2018 when Seoul's former president Moon Jae-in embarked on a round of diplomacy with Pyongyang's leader Kim Jong Un.

North Korea's foreign minister argued Aug. 4 that the United States is not holding up its end of their recent denuclearization deal.
