Recent video shows Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un driving a Russian-built Aurus Limousine. This attempt to show the connection between Russia and North Korea has gone viral on social media.
Putin recently visited North Korea for the first time since 2000 to sign a treaty, that is crucial to both nations. The pact promises that both nations will provide immediate military support if either of them is attacked.
The video shows Putin driving Kim Jong Un through a park in the Russian presidential vehicle, an armoured limousine, while both leaders have a seemingly pleasant conversation and are seen laughing.
After exiting the car, they continued walking shoulder-to-shoulder on a footpath surrounded by greenery.
Putin allegedly gifted Kim Jong Un the vehicle they can be seen driving. It has been reported that Putin had gifted Kim the same vehicle in February, meaning Kim now has two vehicles of the same kind. The car is the Aurus Senat with a retro style based on the ZIL Limousine of the Soviet era. Putin also showed Kim the vehicle when he visited Russia last September.
Kim Jong Un is known to be an automobile enthusiast and has been seen in many luxury cars, even though the UN Security Council has banned the export of luxury goods to North Korea. His collection includes a Maybach Limousine, a Lexus sports car, a Rolls Royce Phantom, various Mercedes, and more.
Kim did not allow Putin to go home empty-handed, either. He gifted Putin two Pungsan dogs, a hunting breed native to North Korea.

“Dictators in Cars Getting Coffee”
Funny.
How many times have our propagandists told us these two men were dead? We sure have become conditioned to letting the lies be forgotten.
Which one is taller?
Check out “North Korean, traffic ladies“
What a couple of losers.
Hmmmm…it does look a little like a Rolls-Royce, it seems😉
Still, if there is an embargo in force against the export of Western motorcars to Russia, it was to be expected that one day the Russians would build their own.
After all, there have been the brands of Chayka and Zil luxury cars in the Soviet era, too.
LOL, russian cars? Okay
Russian Lawmakers to Trade Foreign Cars for Domestic Brands, State Duma Speaker Says Aug 4, 2023
The speaker of Russia's lower house of parliament said that lawmakers will ditch their foreign-made cars for domestic car brands, Interfax reported Friday.
He added that lawmakers will in September begin transitioning to driving on domestic-made vehicles such as the Moskvitch, Lada and Volga.
“[Government] ministries, departments and agencies have asked to continue purchasing... foreign-made cars. It’s out of the question,” he said, noting that officials may have to get used to vehicles that are “more modest.”
