To function and consult with assistants, he takes a special train with its distinctive olive alternative vehicles that are rumored to been armoured and outfitted with communications systems.

According to US and South Korean authorities and analysts, a summit between Kim and Putin is likely to concentrate on defense cooperation and perhaps an arms deal.

It is thought that North Korea has a sizable backlog of artillery ammunition that is compatible with Russian weapons and may help supplement the supplies being used quickly on the Russian frontlines.

The United States has warned Pyongyang that it will” pay a price” for North Korea to provide Russia with weapons to use in Ukraine and stated that doing so would be” hugely mistaken.”

Ramon Pacheco Pardo, the Korea Chair at the Brussels School of Governance, said that the growing hostility between Putin, Kim, and & nbsp signals a further global divide over the conflict.

It is terrible news for Europe that Putin will be able to continue his war thanks to North Korea’s help, he claimed. ” It is further evidence that the majority of the world does not support Ukraine as the US and Europe do, and that some nations, like North Korea, openly support Russia without worrying about the true repercussions.”

In Vladivostok, where the town was decorated with the dark five-pointed stars that adorn the North’s symbol, there was a higher police presence than normal on the roads, but no North Korean banners had been flown.
