MOSCOW Sept 13 — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin met for a rare summit today at which they discussed military matters, the war in Ukraine and possible Russian help for the secretive Communist state's satellite programme.
"I firmly believe that the heroic Russian army and people will brilliantly inherit their victories and traditions and vigorously demonstrate their noble dignity and honour on the two fronts of military operations and building a powerful nation," Kim told Putin. When asked by Russian media, who were given significant access at the summit, if Russia would help Kim build satellites, Putin said:"That's why we came here."
Russia has joined China in opposing new sanctions on North Korea, blocking a US-led push and publicly splitting the UN Security Council for the first time since it started punishing Pyongyang in 2006.
