The situation on the Korean peninsula seemed to be stabilising after a historic meeting between Kim and US President Donald Trump last year, at which they both backed de-nuclearisation.
Russia’s main interest in the summit is to remind other players “that it exists and that it has economic and political potential” in the region, Andrei Lankov of Seoul’s Kookmin University told AFP. But now Kim is looking for all the allies he can get “because were a failure, and he was not able to achieve the things he was counting on.”
The US has accused Moscow, which provides some food aid to North Korea, of helping Pyongyang evade some international sanctions — a charge Moscow denies.The Kremlin however lacks the regional clout of Beijing, Pyongyang’s sole major ally and biggest trading partner. Russia’s foreign policy focus remains on former Soviet states and the Middle East, particularly its backing for the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, Asmolov said.
The Kim-Putin summit is set take place before the end of April, the Kremlin announced Thursday, without specifying a date or a location.
President Putin is one hero of the world, for standing up to whites terrorists like he is doing.
