Russia’s president and Kim Jong Un are set to explore a range of “sensitive topics” during talks on Wednesday.

Vladimir Putin met his North Korean counterpart in eastern Russia, according to a video released by the Kremlin on Wednesday.

Accompanied by top military brass and senior government figures, Kim Jong Un implied to the Russian president he supported Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Russia has risen to a sacred fight to protect its sovereignty and security against the hegemonic forces,” he told reporters. “North Korea supports all Putin’s decisions.”

“I’m sure we will remain together in [the] fight against imperialism,” Kim said earlier, expressing his gratitude to the Russian leader for the visit.

The two men are due to discuss a range of “sensitive topics”, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

        The US is an unreliable security partner, what if trump wins next year for example? The only way South Korea (and Taiwan to be fair) can secure their independence and sovereignty is a nuclear deterrent

            I’m sure that kind of thing makes the residents of Seoul much less agreeable to getting a nuclear deterrent

            Don’t you get it? We’re on the same side, I think the US should stay out of Taiwan and South Korea also, that’s why they need nuclear weapons! Probably Japan too, if history is anything to go by. Vietnam as well
