Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un Exchanges Rifles During Military Summit

“Our fathers and grandfathers fought together against Japanese militarism, our country supported North Korea in its fight against the United States’ imperialist ambitions in the 1950s, and today we jointly stand up to the pressure of the collective West,” Degtyarev wrote in a Telegram post during Jong-un’s visit.

Jong-un’s visit to Russia is reportedly scheduled to last “a few more days,” and the United States warned North Korea that the nation would “pay a price” if Jong-un arms Putin with weapons to aid Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine.
