Kim Yong-un left Russia after traveling to Moscow , aboard his armored train.
The North Korean leader brings home the promise of a visit from Vladimir Putin, very useful in terms of propaganda, and seven "gifts": a rifle, a personal gift from the Tsar, and six drones, collected after a tour of the war factories in the Primorye region , in the Russian Far East.
International observers are now wondering about the consequences of Kim's visit to the Kremlin, with one question above all: will North Korea provide weapons to Russia to help it in its war against Ukraine?
Pyongyang media report that the North Korean leader and Russian Defense Minister Serghei Shoigu spoke in Vladivostok about "tactical and strategic strengthening and mutual exchanges between the armed forces in the field of defense and security".
North Korean Defense Minister Kang Sun Nam then "expressed willingness to seek further strengthening of war cohesion and cooperation with the Russian army". According to the Kremlin, however, no "written agreements" have been signed between Putin and Kim but this does not mean that North Korea does not decide to help the tsar in some way.
Furthermore, the North Korean arsenal is highly compatible with the needs of Russian forces, given that the Soviet Union was one of Pyongyang's main suppliers.
