Recent visits by Russian President Putin to North Korea and Vietnam have sparked global attention, as analyzed by Hong Kong's Ming Pao. The true purpose behind Putin's visits is seen as serving his interest in the Ukraine conflict by breaking Western isolation and restraining NATO's aid to Kiev, in a move to create a diversion. The signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during the visit signifies a strategic move to counter Western pressure on both countries. This development is viewed as a means for Putin to send a warning to the West through strengthened ties with North Korea.
