There will be training and partnership agreement: Putin promised to support North Korea in the fight against the US

The President of the Russian Federation went to the DPRK for the first time in 24 years. And he has promised to deepen North Korea in the field of trade and security, which includes joint military exercises. Russian President Vladimir Putin went on an official visit to North Korea, who last visited Kim Jong -in - Kim Jong Ira - during his father's father.

While the United States and their Asian allies are trying to find out how far Russia will be in the support of the North Korean leader, Putin has already promised to deepen North Korea in trade and security, as well as to maintain the DPRK "in their fight against the United States. " Reuters writes about it.

As a sign that Russia, a member of the UN Security Council, who has a veto, fully revised his approach to North Korea, Putin praised Pyongyang for resistance because, he said, was economic pressure, blackmail and US threats. In an article published by the North Korean State Media, Putin praised Kima's "Comrade" and promised "to" counter unlawful unilateral restrictions ", develop trade and strengthen security throughout Eurasia.

"Washington, refusing to fulfill the previously reached agreements, constantly puts new, more rigid and obviously unacceptable requirements," Putin said in an article printed on the first track of the Nordon Sinmun North Korean newspaper, a ruling labor party. "Russia has always supported and support the DPRK and the heroic Korean people in their confrontation with a treacherous, dangerous and aggressive enemy," Putin quoted in the material.

Putin noted that the Soviet Union was the first to recognize the Korean People's Democratic Republic (DPRK), founded by Santa Kim, Kim Il Sen, less than two years before the Korean War of 1950. North Korea state media also published articles that praise Russia and support its military operations in Ukraine, calling them "the sacred war of all Russian citizens.

" Putin's state visit took place against the backdrop of US accusations that North Korea has put "dozens of ballistic missiles and more than 11,000 ammunition containers" for use in Ukraine. South Korea, a faithful ally of the United States, expressed similar fears. Moscow and Pyongyang deny the supply of weapons, but promised to strengthen military ties, perhaps, including joint training.

In March, Russia vetoed the annual continuation of the experts' group, which is observing the observance of ancient sanctions of the UN against North Korea through its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. Putin's adviser to foreign policy Yuri Ushakov stated that Russia and North Korea may sign a partnership agreement during a visit, which would include security issues.

According to him, the agreement will not be directed against any other country, but "outline the prospects for further cooperation. " The visit will include conversations one on one between the two leaders, as well as a gala concert, state reception, honorary guard, signing documents and a statement for the media.

The delegation, in addition to Putin himself, also included Russian Defense Minister Andriy Belousov, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Ministers of Natural Resources, Health and Transport, Heads Alexander Novak. North Korea has been under the sanctions of the UN for its ballistic missiles and nuclear programs since 2006, and over the years these measures have intensified. The Security Council has differences on how to do Pyongyang.

Russia and China say that additional sanctions will not help, and that joint military exercises of the United States and South Korea are simply provoked by Pyongyang. Two years ago, they vetoed the US initiative to impose additional sanctions on the UN against North Korea in connection with the restoration of ballistic missiles. Washington and his Asian allies accuse Beijing and Moscow of giving the courage to North Korea, protecting it from new sanctions.

After North Korea, Putin will visit Vietnam on June 19-20. We will remind, during the preparation of Putin's visit to the DPRK, a group of North Korea military in the demilitarized zone was blown up on mines. It is noted that the DPRK soldiers crossed the military-demon line separating two Korea, but were forced to retreat after warning shots and warnings from the South Korean troops. They installed mines in places on the border where North Korean citizens often try to escape to South Korea.
