“Russian Security Chief Shoigu Meets Kim Jong Un Amid Growing Military Ties Between Moscow and Pyongyang 🤝🚀”

Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Friday, September 13, as Moscow strengthens its defense ties with Pyongyang. This visit follows the signing of a defense pact between Russia and North Korea in June 2024, as Moscow seeks support and ammunition for its ongoing military offensive in Ukraine. The meeting, described by Russian officials as taking place in a “trusting and friendly atmosphere,” is part of efforts to implement the newly established military agreement.

Amidst accusations from the West and South Korea that North Korea has been supplying arms to Russia, the deepening relationship between the two heavily sanctioned nations has drawn global concern. Ukraine has also reported finding North Korean ammunition on the battlefield. With historical ties dating back to the Soviet Union’s support in founding North Korea, the two countries have recently revived their military cooperation as Moscow’s relations with the West deteriorate over the war in Ukraine.
