Russian despot Vladimir Putin has praised North Korea for 'firmly supporting' his brutal invasion of Ukraine
Russia n despot Vladimir Putin has praised North Korea for 'firmly supporting' his brutal invasion of Ukraine , as Kim Jong-un prepares to roll out the red carpet to receive his fellow autocrat.
The United States and its allies have accused North Korea of supplying Russia with much-needed arms, including ballistic missiles to use in Ukraine, which mocked the growing relationship between the two nations. The North has denied giving Russia military hardware but, ahead of his trip, Putin thanked Kim Jong Un's government for helping the war effort.
'The best way to respond to it is to continue strengthening the diplomatic coalition for just and lasting peace in Ukraine and delivering more Patriots and ammunition to Ukraine,' Kuleba told AFP. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said the two leaders would possibly sign a 'comprehensive strategic partnership treaty' to outline cooperation on 'security issues', state-run Russian news agencies reported.
In return, it will want 'Russia to provide a variety of advanced technologies', he said, plus 'a substantial flow of Russian oil and food products along with hard currency payments'.However, it did thank Russia for using its UN veto in March to effectively end monitoring of sanctions violations just as UN experts were starting to probe alleged arms transfers.
Ukraine did not immediately claim responsibility but it has carried out similar attacks on Russian energy facilities beforeVideo published by the emergencies ministry showed thick smoke and flames billowing out of what appeared to be multiple oil storage tanks in an undisclosed location Ukraine did not immediately claim responsibility but it has carried out similar attacks on Russian energy facilities before, arguing they are fair targets given that they fuel Moscow's military.
