North Korean leader Kim Jong Un pledged his full support to Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, promising to do "everything I can to assist" Moscow as the Russian president thanked Pyongyang for sending troops to fight against Ukraine. The meeting took place on the sidelines of celebrations in Beijing to mark the anniversary of Japan's formal surrender in World War Two.

"If there is anything I can or must do for you and the Russian people, I consider it my duty as a fraternal obligation," Kim told Putin.
Putin addressed Kim as "Dear Chairman of State Affairs" in Russian and extended his warmest greetings. The two countries are bound by a 2024 mutual defence treaty and both face heavy international sanctions - Russia for its war in and North Korea for its nuclear weapons programme.
"Recently, relations between our countries have assumed a special, trusting and friendly character, and an allied character," Putin said, and praised North Korean special forces that were deployed to help Russian troops. "Your soldiers fought courageously and heroically."

Go figure.
These are very evil people. Asian communists killing European Christians who have of course done nothing to North Korea.
And these thugs, along with their communist Chinese and Iranian Muslim allies, want nothing more than to kill Americans.
You, Tbozo and Pukas Maximus.... the Uke harpy crew. Have all 3 flown-in yet this AM?
Hundreds of eurotrash articles served.
I want to know how Kims sister feels about this. “The Dragon Lady “ the one running the shop. not fat boy.
Birds of a Feather - no surprise
Can you imagine how crappy things are when the only allies you can get are the north Koreans. Or from the north Korean perspective the only allies you can get are the Russians. Xi not stupid enough to send Chinese troops to die for putin but smart enough to play vald and kim like the little bitches they are. When Russia collapse China gonna eat them
You’re just the kind of useful idiot that will bring destruction to America.
Sooooo are the so called Peace Talks over?
Its the same with the negotiations between Israel and Hamas. If one side, Putin doesn't believe in Ukraine's right to exist, how do you negotiate?

What are you smokin?
Good for Kim, just seem to remember many here saying Russia was self sufficient 🤔
mindblowing that the soviets who once sponsored the norks in the korean war and provided them advanced air support then, have now been so far reduced in power that they have to pay the norks to help prop up the soviets failing war against the tiny country of Ukraine ...
The extent to which the North Koreans saw combat in Kursk is not well known, however the extent to which the Ukrainians died during their failed incursion into the Kursk region is.
Overall the Norks chose wisely and the Ukies didn’t.
Yeah let’s be so absolutely ignorant now as to praise North Korea’s aggression in Europe.
This alliance of convenience is happening because of American sanctions on Russia, which is not the USA’s enemy. Because of our sanctions, N. Korean troops are getting needed combat experience.
There’s no evidence North Korean troops entered Ukraine at any time during their successful deployment to Russia.
But keep running your mouth like you know something different...
Russia has been our enemy for generations, by their choice. Not all Russians are in cahoots with the communists and fascists but the ones that aren’t, aren’t in power, and have a tendency to fall out of high windows. Meanwhile, Russia raises monuments to mass murderers, commits mass murder, embraces countries with concentration camps, and buys slaves to serve as mercs.
“Your soldiers fought courageously and heroically,” Putin told Kim during Wednesday’s talks.”I would like to note that we will never forget the sacrifices that your armed forces and the families of your servicemen have suffered.”
Kim expressed his gratitude for the Russian leader’s acknowledgement of North Korea’s troops and said bilateral relations between the two countries had been “advancing across all areas” - referencing Pyongyang’s involvement in the “joint struggle” with Russia in Ukraine.
“If there is any way we can assist Russia, we will certainly do it as a fraternal duty.”
