VLADIMIR PUTIN, KIM JONG UN Capacity
Look at a larger package that will be crossing over the North Korean border to get a better understanding of why North Korea should n’t be ignored.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is visiting the country Tuesday ( Jun 18 ) and Wednesday,  , his first such sojourn in 24 years. Following Kim Jong Un’s trip , to Russia next September, it comes as ties between the two warlords are growing increasingly polite.  ,
Both nations are already so strongly sanctioned that the US and its supporters have less influence over how to punish them more because they both have little to gain from stronger relations and little to lose. According to the state-run Asian Central News Agency, Kim told Putin in a statement last week that the two countries “have an unbreakable relation of comrades in arms and a long-standing proper marriage” and that they are continuously progressing toward higher-level state relations.
The countries plan to sign an agreement on proper agreement,  , including on security and economic assistance, Kremlin foreign legislation aide , Yuri Ushakov said, according to express- run Tass news agency.
Seoul’s leaders have expressed concern about like a agreement.  , Russia needs friends, and Kim has shown his willingness to help, as demonstrated by the Northern Korean ammunition found on Ukrainian soldiers. Kim has already sent thousands of ordnance shells to Russia, according to the US and South Korea, in order to keep its assault on Ukraine going. ( North Korea denies , this. )  ,
For its part, North Korea may use Russia’s appearance on the United Nations Security Council to further its ambitions of weakening restrictions, helping it to , expand its army of nuclear weapons and rockets. That is already happening: Russia used its veto in March to rescind a resolution enacted by the UN panel of experts to monitor Pyongyang’s implementation. Following the demise of a spy satellite launch last month, Kim also needs Russian technology to support its space program, and Russian oil will also find a home in a resource-hungry nation.  ,
