Russian ruler Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signed an agreement on a “comprehensive strategic partnership between Russia and the DPRK.”

As Russian media write , the document provides for the provision of mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of the participants.

According to Putin, Russia “does not rule out the development of military-technical cooperation with the DPRK” in connection with the signed agreement.

At the same time, Kim Jong-un claims that this agreement is peaceful and defensive in nature. He called Russia “the most honest friend and ally” and Putin “the dearest friend of the Korean people.”

Putin’s visit to the DPRK: what is known

That night, the Kremlin ruler arrived in North Korea for the first time in 24 years . The visit will last two days, the countries must sign a strategic partnership agreement.

On the eve of the visit, Putin published an article in which he thanked the DPRK for supporting Russia in the war.

The Russian ruler went to see Kim Jong-un after a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and the G7 summit, where Western leaders demonstrated their solidarity regarding the Russian war against Ukraine.

Putin’s visit to North Korea could have consequences far beyond the battlefield in Ukraine. It’s a significant step toward a partnership based on shared hostility toward the West and its allies that empowers both leaders and deepens global fault lines, CNN writes.

  1. So, if the fat Korean nazi kid sends 10 divisions of Koreanazi orcs to supplement putler’s orcs, will there be the usual “we are gravely concerned” bullshit, or will allied ground troops finally enter Ukraine?
    Btw, it doesn’t matter if the norks’ missiles and shells are defective, they are still dangerous and will still kill Ukrainians.
