ai generated text

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit North Korea, arriving on Tuesday evening local time for a two-day trip. During his stay, he and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un are expected to sign a "comprehensive strategic partnership treaty", marking the closest relations between the two countries since the end of the Soviet Union. The Russian president has pledged his unwavering support in a letter published by North Korea's ruling Workers' Party mouthpiece. Putin expressed gratitude for North Korea's backing of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine and emphasized the need to develop alternative trade and payment systems not controlled by Western powers.

    1. Putin is expected to seek closer security cooperation with North Korea, especially military supplies such as artillery shells that are necessary to seize a chance to win.
    1. A considerable amount of time will be dedicated to informal contacts between the leaders, as these negotiations … will contain the most important and most sensitive questions.
    1. We will develop alternative mechanisms of trade and mutual settlements that are not controlled by the West, and jointly resist illegitimate unilateral restrictions.
    1. As Russia continues to seek international support to sustain its illegal and brutal war against Ukraine, we reiterate that no country should give Putin a platform to promote his war of aggression and otherwise allow him to normalise his atrocities.
    1. North Korea has supplied dozens of ballistic missiles and over 11,000 containers of munitions to Russia.
    1. We know North Korean ballistic missiles are still being used to hit Ukrainian targets (and) there could be some reciprocity here that could affect security on the Korean peninsula.
    1. It's not a bilateral relationship—big brother is always watching from Beijing.
    1. The new Russian love with North Korea is shallow and artificial.
