Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un have signed a pact for mutual aid if either faces “aggression.” Putin announced this after visiting Pyongyang, marking his first trip since 2000.
Kim hailed the agreement as elevating their alliance. This growing partnership concerns the West and may impact global dynamics.
A defense treaty could lead Russia to help North Korea in conflicts and vice versa.
The US accuses Kim of supplying Russia with weapons for the Ukraine war, while Putin may be aiding North Korea’s missile program.
Both countries criticize Western sanctions and seek to counter US dominance.
This development, reported by the BBC, signifies a potential shift in global power dynamics as both leaders bolster their positions against Western influence.
