Putin hails North Korea’s support for Ukraine war ahead of Pyongyang visit
Raw StoryRussian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday hailed North Korea for “firmly supporting” Moscow’s war in Ukraine ahead of a visit to Pyongyang set to boost defence ties between the two nuclear-armed countries. Putin’s trip has triggered “concern” in Washington, after the Pentagon said last month debris analysis proved North Korean ballistic missiles were already being fired on Ukraine’s battlefields. Putin praised the North for “defending their interests very effectively despite the US economic pressure, provocation, blackmail and military threats that have lasted for decades.” He also hailed Moscow and Pyongyang for “maintaining the common line and stand at the UN.” ‘Lonely bromance’ North Korea has denied sending weapons to Russia, calling the claim “absurd” — even as it thanked Moscow for using its UN veto in March to effectively end monitoring of sanctions violations, just as UN experts were starting to probe alleged arms transfers. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba dismissed the trip as a “lonely bromance” between Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, with NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg saying it showed how Putin was “dependent” on authoritarian leaders.
