Russian President Vladimir Putin met with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui on Monday at the Kremlin, according to Moscow, in response to statements from Westerners that Russia plans to send thousands of troops from Pyongyang to the Ukraine fight.
Choe has been in Russia for a year and has pledged that North Korea may support Russia until its “victory” in Ukraine.
The Kremlin published a picture of the couple shaking hands before the start of a conversation, stating that” President Putin received Choe Son Hui, the foreign secretary of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,” in a statement.
When asked about the North Korean army implementation in public last month, Putin, who signed a military cope with Pyongyang this summer, did not deny it.
The Russian president greeted the North Korean minister in a Kremlin house on film, which the Kremlin released.
In a Russian transcription, Choe thanked Putin for meeting her and received also hopes from Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea.
Choe and her Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov spoke last week and stated that Pyongyang wanted to be on Russia’s part in what she termed a” sacred fight” in Ukraine.
According to the West, roughly 10,000 North Vietnamese soldiers are stationed in Russia and are on the verge of fighting.
The meeting took place as Annalena Baerbock, Germany’s international secretary, traveled to Kyiv.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, has criticised the alleged rollout of North Korean troops in the West.
