Russian President Vladimir Putin gives numerous hints that military cooperation was discussed but discloses few details
on Wednesday, September 13, where they discussed military matters, the war in Ukraine and possible Russian help for the secretive state’s satellite program.
“The Russian army and people will certainly win a great victory in the sacred struggle for the punishment of a great evil that claims hegemony and feeds an expansionist illusion,” Kim said, raising his glass. Washington warned it would implement further sanctions over any weapons transfers by either country to the other, and said Putin was “begging” Kim for help after losing tens of thousands of troops in Ukraine.
Putin said Kim now planned to visit military and civilian aviation factories in the Russian city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur and to inspect Russia’s Pacific fleet in Vladivostok. Britain urged North Korea to end arms talks with Russia and said Kim’s visit showed how isolated Moscow has become on the world stage.
Asked about military cooperation, Putin said Russia complied with international rules but that there were opportunities to explore.
