What is known about Putin's visit to North Korea
On June 19, the illegitimate president of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, arrived in North Korea, where he was met by the dictator Kim Jong Un.
Together, they drove from the airport in a limousine in a massive procession through the streets of Pyongyang, where buildings were decorated with giant Russian flags and portraits of the head of the Kremlin.
Moreover, Putin reportedly attended a lavish meeting ceremony in the city's main square, where he and Kim saluted an honour guard and walked the red carpet.
Videos released by the Kremlin showed the square filled with thousands of spectators, including children with balloons and people wearing T-shirts with the red, white, and blue colours of the Russian and North Korean flags.
Huge crowds lined the streets to meet Putin's motorcade.
They chanted "Welcome, Putin" while waving flowers and the flags of North Korea and Russia.
The Russian Federation does not rule out the development of military-technical cooperation with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in accordance with the document signed today, the Russian dictator said.
