Russian President Putin visited Pyongyang on June 19, meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to officially hold a summit. After a two-hour meeting, Russia and North Korea signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement to jointly resist pressure from Western countries. The agreement includes mutual defense provisions requiring both countries to expel aggressors in the event of an invasion. This move raises concerns about North Korean soldiers possibly joining Russia in the Ukraine conflict, now that they have a mutual defense treaty. Putin's visit aims to benefit Russia with ammunition and missile support, while North Korea could receive economic aid and technology transfer from Russia. Details of the agreement have yet to be disclosed.
