PYONGYANG, North Korea
North korea leader, Kim Jong Un has said he "fully supports" Russia's invasion of Ukraine as Putin visits North Korea after 24 years.
The two leaders hailed ties
between their countries after they held talks following Putin's overnight
arrival.
Putin received a red-carpet
welcome, including roses, waving crowds and ceremonial gunfire at a grand
military parade.
The Russian president thanked
Kim for inviting him to Pyongyang, and said he hopes the next meeting will take
place in Moscow.
The two last met in Russia in
September and vowed to strengthen military ties.
The US and South Korea accuse
the North of supplying Russia with artillery in exchange for food and military
aid.
Both countries deny this but
Putin is in search of allies since the invasion of Ukraine turned him into a
pariah in the West.
After North Korea, Putin will
visit long-time ally Vietnam, where he is expected to discuss trade
