This is the best summary I could come up with:
Seoul, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday that he could count on his country’s “full and unconditional support” for Russia’s “sacred fight” to defend its security interests, in an apparent reference to the war in Ukraine.
The leaders met for about two hours at a remote Siberian rocket launch facility for a summit that underscored how their interests are aligning in the face of their countries’ separate, intensifying confrontations with the United States.
“We are confident that the Russian army and people will win a great victory in the just fight to punish evil groups who pursue hegemony, expansion, and ambition,” Kim told Putin, raising a toast during an official dinner following one-on-one talks.
“We strongly condemn North Korea’s successive ballistic missile launches as a serious act of provocation that undermines the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula as well as the international community, and a clear violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions, and urge that it be stopped immediately,” the Joint Chiefs said in a statement.
A senior South Korean official recently told CBS News that Seoul was concerned Pyongyang could seek technology for nuclear-powered submarines and satellites from Russia in exchange for badly needed weapons and ammunition for Putin’s ongoing war in Ukraine.
Kim also brought Jo Chun Ryong, a ruling party official in charge of munitions policies who joined him on recent tours of factories producing artillery shells and missiles, according to South Korea.
