North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un met with Russian President Vladimir Putin Wednesday as the two arrived at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia’s Far East, set for rare talks. The two leaders met at a remote Siberian rocket launch facility, and began with the inspection of a Soyuz-2 space rocket launch facility. Kim told Putin that North Korea would be “together” with Russia in what he termed a “fight against imperialism,” seemingly a reference to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine and the West’s response. “Russia has risen to a sacred fight to protect its sovereignty and security… against the hegemonic forces. We will always support the decisions of President Putin and the Russian leadership… and we will be together in the fight against imperialism,” Kim told Putin via a translator.
