When Enemies Unite, It Usually Tells An UGLY Tale: Here's What Kim Jong Un Promised Putin...

The meeting took place at a remote Siberian rocket-launch facility, where Kim referred to North Korea's relations with Russia as "the first priority."

The meeting between Putin and Kim comes at a time when both countries are facing separate confrontations with the West. Washington has expressed concern that Putin would use the meeting to press Kim on weapons shipments to resupply dwindling Russian stockpiles. The U.S. State Department stated that it was "quite troubling" that Moscow was considering cooperation with Pyongyang on programs that could potentially violate UN resolutions.

Hours before the meeting, North Korea fired two ballistic missiles towards the sea, according to South Korean officials. Following the meeting, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced that the two nations' foreign ministers would meet next month in North Korea. However, there were no immediate plans for Putin to visit the country himself. Putin revealed that Kim would be traveling to two more Far Eastern cities after their meeting, first to Komsomolsk-on-Amur and then to Vladivostok to observe Russia's Pacific Fleet and other sites.
