Vladimir Putin Promises To Visit North Korea Following Kim Jong Un’s Invitation

On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin accepted North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s invitation to visit the country.

Following their meeting in Russia on Wednesday, Kim Jong Un courteously invited Putin to visit the DPRK at a convenient time.

Putin gladly accepted the invitation and reaffirmed his determination to invariably carry forward the history and tradition of Russia-DPRK friendship.

On Wednesday, Kim informed Putin that he was confident Russia would win a great victory against its adversaries, as Ukraine’s Western allies warned of the possibility of a Russian arms deal with North Korea.

Russia has sought to establish alliances with other leaders shunned by democratic countries since commencing full-scale hostilities in Ukraine last year.

While receiving Kim at a Far East spaceport, Putin welcomed the strengthening of cooperation and friendship between countries and told the media that he saw possibilities for military collaboration with North Korea.

He had previously stated that Moscow may assist Pyongyang in the development of satellites.

Any assistance, according to State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller, would be quite troubling and could potentially violate multiple UN Security Council resolutions.

According to US officials and experts, Russia is interested in purchasing North Korean munitions for use in Ukraine.

Pyongyang launched two ballistic missiles on Wednesday, the South Korean military claimed, the latest in a series of sanctions-breaking tests.
