Russia is accepting Kim as a full partnership against the USA and it' "satellites nations"...deep details on trade and military cooperation @ link
www.yahoo.com
The Russian president is meeting with the North Korean leader in a rare visit to the reclusive state, as he seeks ammunition for his war in Ukraine and vows to back the nuclear-armed regime against the United States.
U.S. officials previously told NBC News that they expect the pair to solidify a new deal to expand transfers of military technology to Pyongyang in exchange for supplies of munitions that Moscow's military badly needs on the battlefield.
Kim, meanwhile, has intensified his nuclear testing and threats, stoking tensions with U.S. ally South Korea and raising alarm about the extent of his ambitions.
Putin said Russia was fighting “the imperialist policy the United States and its satellites imposed for decades against Russia.”
Kim said Russia-North Korea relations were “entering a new period of high prosperity,” and pledged “full support” for Russia’s war in Ukraine, Russian state media reported.
a letter published in North Korean state media on Tuesday ahead of the trip, Putin said he appreciated the country’s support for the war in Ukraine and vowed to support Pyongyang against U.S. “economic pressure, provocation, blackmail and military threats.”
The highlight of the visit is expected to be a new strategic agreement that could deepen military and economic cooperation between the two regimes as they look to bypass the slew of global sanctions against them.
