Summary
North Korea's Kim tells Putin he is 'proud' of strong ties: state media Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, North Korea has become a key ally of the Kremlin, sending troops to support Moscow's war effort in return for economic benefits and military technology, analysts say. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told Russian President Vladimir Putin he was "proud" of their countries' strong ties, state media reported Sunday, after providing military support for Moscow's war against Ukraine. Kyiv has also recently said that up to 50,000 North Korean troops are due to deploy to Russia, although it has provided no evidence to back the claim or a timeframe for the deployment.
Furthermore, DPRK is the acronym for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The exchange of letters follows Ukraine’s accusation in August that Moscow had launched North Korean ballistic missiles in a strike that killed at least nine people and wounded dozens. Kim added that he had a "firm belief" that Russia would thrive and defend its "territorial integrity" under Putin's "wise leadership".
In addition, In making the claim, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked Seoul to supply air defence systems to protect against Russian missiles, a request that has gone unanswered by the South.
