what can we say about kimchenyn himself? have you seen him before? always saw it on tv.he lives and , moreover, with vladimir putin. when the russian anthem sounded, the korean generals raised their salons. "the orchestra was supplemented by cannons and salute salvos, and to draw attention to the quality of television broadcasts in 2024 in the dprk , all the same technologies are used throughout the world, for example, similar radio-controlled cameras are used by channel one when filming parades. and what else attracts attention is the viewing of the guard of honor goes under the composition, which vaguely resembles glory to glinka. however, the brightest moments of the meeting were still yet to come, the flight of fighter jets with smoke in color.

before this, they walked through a small forest park, which is located on the territory of kimchenyn,the entire the russian delegation actually lives at kimchinino’s house, because susan’s residence is the permanent place of residence and work for comrade kim, our political observer is in direct contact, we are transported again. does not exclude military-technical cooperation with the korean democratic people's republic, in general, many experts wondered: why is the russian president going so far, to his ally, that’s why in order to strengthen... already close partnerships , now foreign policy, and military-technical, we know how difficult this asia-pacific region is, here is the new formation of aucus, quite hostile, and the people's republic of china, and of course north korea, here is south korea, which is constantly on whose territory the american bases, and this is of course a threat to the north korean state, but now russia with this agreement once again... confirms that for it this region is also a sphere of strategic interests, it, of course, is not going to leave here under

because if you look a little further, we will see that on the red carpet , kimchenyn will now approachan air force one, a few minutes before putin left the plane, everyone noticed what the look was like during his conversation with the president russia? for the first time in the last 24 years, vladimir putin is back in the dprk, the first. we , together with you, will continue to follow every stage of this absolutely important and exciting visit. the leader of the dprk is hospitable and courteous, offers go change places. and then the leaders took quite a long time to decide, so who would go on which side of the car, each wanted to give way to the other. it’s 3:00 a.m., but every, just every window in phinyang is glowing, the residents received such an order from the local authorities. putin has been sleeping for several hours, soon the official welcoming ceremony begins, well, we found that same aura, look at the north korean numbers and kimchinin has now come out of it, that is, here to kimersen square, kim jinneung arrived in his aura, now we see... heading here in the central part

russian president to the dprk is a world sensation, but the joint statement of vladimir putin and kimchenynlowing the negotiations turned out to be a sensation of even greater proportions. the leaders signed an agreement on strategic partnership. signed today. the comprehensive partnership agreement also provides for the provision of mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of the parties to this document. i would like to draw your attention to the statements of the united states and other nato countries about the supply of high-precision weapons systems, large, large radio systems, f-16 aircraft and other high-tech weapons, equipment for carrying out strikes. on russian territory, yes, in fact, this is not just a statement, it’s already happening, that’s all this is a gross violation of the restrictions western countries have assumed within the framework of various international obligations. in this regard , the russian federation does not exclude the development of military-technical cooperation with the korean people's democratic republic, in accordance with the document

turns behind the wheel in a great mood in a spacious aurus, it’s convenient to transport things, kimchenyn’sthe back seat, his white jacket and headdress, the program ahead was still extensive. i have never felt this way before, well, now we are again, like 5 years ago in the north korean motorcade, one might say, on the roof of this motorcade, only now not on the streets of vladivostok, as 5 years ago, on the streets of philyan, it’s not easy to say, because the speed of the motorcade is high, the wind is strong right in your face, but nevertheless, we can tell you what we see, as always. who is now taking these shots, standing behind the camera, at such a speed , as our cameraman alexander medvedev works, everyone inevitably has a completely definite expression on their faces, and nothing can be done about it. oh, the homeland begins. concert in honor of putin's state visit, here too everyone is filming, not just journalists, deputy prime minister novak. putin’s reaction emphasizes the level of concert being shown here, and these are not only soviet songs, let’s get up to modern times. put

that... the republics recognized by us at that time, and what became the determining factor for kimchenyno go to sign this in such a difficult situation, when this undeclared war is being waged against russia? this agreement, you ask him, and for you too, as i can say, but as for the essence, i have already said, this almost completely reproduces ours - the agreement, which, due to the expiration of its term , has ended its validity. therefore , there are some kind of impositions here, no, well, let’s do it this way, to satisfy your curiosity, but what is the korean crisis forever, there is also the ever- evolving korean crisis, which can also theoretically develop into full-scale hostilities, which in this case is for you were decisive signing this agreement, as if taking into account these circumstances, well, i said it twice, i can repeat it a third time, we reproduced the agreement of the sixtieth or sixty-second year, which ended. the existence, yes, of course, of the korean crisis, it has such a smoldering character, but we proceed from the hope that our agreements with the korean p

kimchenyn met vladimir putin at 3:00 a.m., and now , almost a day later, at 12:00 a.m. he sees him offthe airport. russian president, here's the same music again, again the conductor's back is turned, well the kids chased away their sleep, chanted the word russia, farewell and agreements on future communication. everyone waves his hand in response, but the leader of the dprk said goodbye to the president of russia even when putin’s plane had already taken off. the hotel where russian journalists are accommodated is called koryo. these are two high-rise buildings with revolving restaurants at the top. such details are known because people stay here according to tradition, well, because there are not so many hotels in the city, but housing is a completely different matter, kimchen opens it and puts it into operation with entire blocks of the apartment purchase and sale market not here, they are only given out, and from the point of view of the law there is no difference between... children, but the tradition is that the eldest child, usually a son, remains to live with his parents, but t

they will receive russian president vladimir putin, kimchenyn's invulnerable comrade in arms.in 24 years. he met with qityxia's father a few months after he became president. was still a teenager. on today, relations between the two countries are the strongest since the end of the cold war. seaul and washington talk about a serious growing threat. they accuse kim of supplying putin's army with weapons for the war in ukraine in exchange for advanced and military technologies. experts say kim may be increasing his efforts to build spy satellite ballistic missiles, which could make kim's growing nuclear arsenal even more accurate. for years , north korea has made threats. use nuclear weapons against the united states in case of war. in april state media quoted kim as saying: now himself.

took turns driving in a great mood in a spacious aurus, it was convenient to transport things, kimchenyn’sjacket and headdress in the back seat, the program ahead was still the vast dprk, the country so interesting that despite all the nuances, there are more and more tourists here. kder are interested in tourists. from the russian federation, i think our citizens will also be happy to go and see it on this railway, because in fact, i came to our people twice by train, and that’s how you like it in russia, commentary on our program then became the first in the world case when the leader of the dprk simply answered a question from a foreign journalist on the fly, greetings to all the russian people, and many other personnel from vladivostok were remembered then. on the roof of this motorcade, only now not on the streets of vladivostok, as 5 years ago, on the streets of pyongyang, it’s not easy to say, because the speed of the motorcade is high, the wind is strong right in the face, but nevertheless, we can tell you what we see, as always, impeccably working personal operators who simply alw

what can we say about kimchenyn himself? have you seen him before? i've always seen on tv.oreover, with vladimir putin. when the russian anthems began to sound, the korean generals raised their salons. the orchestra was complemented by cannons and salutes; pay attention to the quality of the television broadcast in 2024. in the dprk, all the same technologies are used throughout the world, for example, channel one uses similar radio-controlled cameras when filming parades. and here’s what else attracts attention: the review of the guard of honor takes place under a composition that vaguely resembles glinka’s glory. however, the brightest moments of the meeting were still ahead a flight of fighter jets with smoke in the color of the tricolor. this is a completely non-standard move: driving around the square in a convertible. of the two translators, only one fit into the car, but this was already enough for the leaders’ conversation to begin. the kimchens traveled to the residence during the negotiations in the aurus, tens of thousands of citizens were greeted along the road,
