On Saturday, the North Korean leader and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu discussed strengthening the “strategic and tactical coordination” of the two countries’ militaries, after Kim inspected Russian strategic bombers and hypersonic missiles.
Sergei Shoigu expressed “his willingness to further deepen friendship and cooperation between the defense ministries of the two countries,” while his North Korean counterpart, Kang Sun-nam, spoke of “further strengthening unity and cooperation with the military Russia and responsibly safeguard regional and global peace and stability.” “.
North Korea’s leader met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday in Vostotchny, about eight thousand kilometers east of Moscow. The content of the conversation was not made public, but after the meeting Kim Jong-un expressed his confidence in the victory of “Great Russia” in Ukraine.
Kim’s visit raised suspicions about Putin’s intention to buy weapons from Pyongyang. Washington has already warned Pyongyang that it will suffer consequences if it contributes to Russia’s war effort in Ukraine.
