North Korea’s Kim vows full support for Russia at summit with Putin

LA Times  

Putin is believed to be seeking one of the few things impoverished North Korea has in abundance: ammunition and rockets for Soviet-era weapons. North Korea’s Kim Jong Un vowed “full and unconditional support” for Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday as the two leaders isolated by the West held a summit that the U.S. warns could lead to a deal to supply ammunition for Moscow’s war on Ukraine. In opening remarks, Putin talked about the Soviet Union’s wartime support for North Korea and said the talks would cover economic cooperation, humanitarian issues and the “situation in the region.” Kim pledged continued support for Moscow, making an apparent reference to the war in Ukraine. “The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has always expressed its full and unconditional support for all measures taken by the Russian government and I take this opportunity to reaffirm that we will always stand with Russia on the anti-imperialist front and the front of independence.” North Korea may have tens of millions of aging artillery shells and rockets based on Soviet designs that could give a huge boost to the Russian army in Ukraine, analysts say. Moon, a retired South Korean brigadier general who participated in past inter-Korean military talks, said the launches could have also been intended to express the North’s anger toward the United States, after State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a news briefing that Putin was meeting “an international pariah to ask for assistance in a war.” Speculation about military cooperation grew after Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visited North Korea in July.
