The pact secures Russian and North Korean cooperation on security, investment and humanitarian concerns
Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un signed a mutual aid pact on Wednesday, bringing the two nations closer than ever since the fall of the Soviet Union.
The pact, which both leaders emphasized is a landmark agreement between the countries, reportedly covers defensive security, humanitarian relief, trade and investment concerns.
Putin thanked Kim on Wednesday for North Korea's "unwavering support" of the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday claimed Putin's visit was part of a desperate attempt to maintain international allies despite the increasingly drawn out invasion.
"We’ve seen […] Russia try, in desperation, to develop and to strengthen relations with countries that can provide it with what it needs to continue the war of aggression that it started against Ukraine," said Blinken.
He added that the U.S. will "do everything we can to cut off the support that countries, like Iran and North Korea, are providing."

P
Nobody can say Biden’s not uniting the world.
Yep. Biden has alienated our allies and driven potential allies into alliances with enemies.
Mega Dittoes.
Putin and Kim have Biden and the UN to thank for creating this Ukraine War and setting the stage for all out nuclear war.
Why are there any women left in this house. Minute someone let one of these perverts in I would have been gone.
LOL
“U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday claimed Putin’s visit was part of a desperate attempt to maintain international allies despite the increasingly drawn out invasion.”
Will Putin help N Korea keep the lights on?
I didn’t think so
Putin that beautiful Christian savior.
Putin is welcome to that millstone.
Zelensky is sad...
Aggressive nations supporting other aggressive nations? Isn’t that how WW2 got started? Hints of WW3 on the horizon. WW3 will come, sooner or later. The world needs to get ready. America is very far from ready.
This article is a study in Western neo-liberal hubris.
The person making news with his comments in DPRK is Putin, not the deceitful US Sec. Blinkin.
Under Trump, China and Russia were not allied, the Norks were meeting him and only got spooked because the DC establishment was undermining Trump.
Now all three are aligned and Turkey and the Saudis and Emirates and even Mexico are joining BRICS.
Good work from the DC party.
North Korean threat news gets a warmer reception here today than 3 years ago.
I expect Russia intends to use North Korea to blunt NATO by having the north attack their south which would obligate NATO, under article 5, to send troops to defend
How so, is South Korea part of NATO?
I don’t believe that attacking US troops in a non-NATO country can trigger article 5
Even the Korean War was a UN thing, not NATO
It is desperation, I still remember the usuals here saying Russia had unlimited resources including artillery ammunition and equipment….
Now Russia goes to Iran, NK, and China to sustain putins desires.
Russia has recently stated that the US supplying Ukraine with weapons to attack Russia would have consequences.
