Russian President Putin To Be On 'Friendly' Visit To North Korea

Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to make his "friendly" visit to North Korea on June 18-19, as announced by the Kremlin on Monday. This visit comes amid Western suspicions that Pyongyang is supplying Moscow with weapons for its offensive in Ukraine.

Putin is visiting the most isolated nation on earth in an attempt to gather support for his military campaign against Ukraine, which was initiated in February 2022 and has pushed Moscow into unheard-of levels of isolation on a worldwide scale. This visit follows Putin's meeting with North Korea's Kim Jong Un nine months ago in the Russian Far East, where they exchanged high praises.

"President Vladimir Putin on June 18-19 will go to the North Korean Democratic Republic on a friendly state visit," the Kremlin said, AFP reported. 

Later, Putin is also scheduled to travel to Vietnam.
