North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has publicly vowed unwavering support for Russian President Vladimir Putin, reinforcing the strategic alliance between Pyongyang and Moscow in the face of mounting international pressure and geopolitical challenges. In a statement broadcast by state media, Kim expressed solidarity with Russia’s leadership, applauding Putin’s stance and signalling that North Korea stands firmly with Russia on key global issues.
The show of support comes at a time when both nations are navigating heightened diplomatic isolation and sanctions from Western countries, particularly over security conflicts and contested foreign policies. Kim’s declaration emphasised shared goals and mutual resistance against what both governments describe as external interference in their sovereign affairs.
International observers say the public affirmation highlights ongoing cooperation between North Korea and Russia, including military, political, and economic dimensions. The move is poised to draw reactions from global powers and diplomatic stakeholders, many of whom monitor shifts in alliances as geopolitical tensions continue to evolve.
