Kim Jong-Un Receives Vladimir Putin
At 4 a.m. in Pyongyang International Airport, the Supreme Leader of North Korea awaited the arrival of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Russian President was welcomed grandly with a red carpet. This welcome marked the beginning of a 2-day visit by the Russian President to North Korea.
Cheered by the people of North Korea, the two leaders left for Kumsusan Palace from Kim Il-Sung Square in an open-top car for negotiations. During the visit, they held multiple discussions and signed various agreements aimed at "protecting" the interests of Russia and North Korea.

Everywhere the two leaders traveled, they were greeted by people on either side of the road. The road was lined with Russian flags and portraits of Putin.
Kim Jong-Un hailed the treaty, saying, "This powerful agreement between our two countries will become a driving force, accelerating the creation of a new multipolar world—free from domination, enslavement, hegemony, and violence."

A Stern Message to the West
"Russia does not rule out the development of military cooperation with the DPRK under the document signed today," says Putin. His message was directed at the West, which he sees as interfering in the Russia-Ukraine conflict by providing arms to Ukraine.
The Russian President was supported by the North Korean leader, as they jointly condemned the West's "illegal sanctions." They stated, "We will continue to oppose the imposition of strangling sanctions, which the West has turned into a tool for maintaining its hegemony in politics, the economy, and other areas," as the President of Russia read out the statement.
