Quote from Peskov: "No, no agreements have been signed on this or any other topic, there were no such plans."
Details: Peskov commented on claims that Moscow and Pyongyang's military cooperation violated UN sanctions and answered a question about whether Russia and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) signed military-technical cooperation agreements during Kim Jong Un's visit.
During a meeting with Alexander Lukashenko, self-proclaimed Belarusian President, on Friday (15 September), Putin cynically stated that Russia and the DPRK "pose no threat to anyone".
Quote from Putin: "As for provoking something, escalating the situation, creating threats to anyone – we pose no threat to anyone."
Background:
- On 13 September, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin met with his North Korean counterpart Kim Jong Un at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in the Russian Far East for talks.
- North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un raised a glass to the health of his Russian counterpart, "comrade" Vladimir Putin, and said he was "confident of Russia's success" in the so-called special military operation, i.e. in the war against Ukraine.
