In talks with Putin, Kim vows 'full support' for Russia in Ukraine

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un promised full support for Russia’s war in Ukraine before starting a one on one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin’s visit comes amid growing concerns about an arms arrangement in which Pyongyang provides Moscow with badly needed munitions to fuel Russia’s war in Ukraine in exchange for economic assistance and technology transfers that could enhance the threat posed by Kim’s nuclear weapons and missile program. Putin thanked Kim for the support and said the two countries would sign an agreement to boost their partnership as both “fight against the imperialist hegemonistic policies of the U.S. and its satellites against the Russian Federation.”
