This is the best summary I could come up with:
During that trip, the two leaders are believed to have agreed that North Korea would receive Russian help with its space programme in return for providing Russia with armaments for the war in Ukraine, in violation of UN resolutions.
Kurt Campbell, the US deputy secretary of state, told his South Korean counterpart, Kim Hong-kyun, this week that closer military ties between Pyongyang and Moscow would cause further instability in the region.
Russia this week asserted its right to develop “very deep” ties with the North, amid concern that Moscow’s international isolation could encourage it to transfer missile and nuclear technology to Kim’s regime.
North Korea appears to be preparing to welcome Putin, who has embraced Kim as a key ally since Russia became the target of sanctions and international condemnation over its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Civilian aircraft have been cleared from Pyongyang’s airport and there are signs of preparations for a possible parade in Kim Il-sung Square, NK Pro, a Seoul-based website, reported this week, citing commercial satellite imagery.
The leaders, who first met in Vladivostok in 2019, have spoken of their mutual admiration, while Russia, along with China, has used its status as a permanent member of the UN security council to veto tighter sanctions targeting the North’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.
