After the North Korean despot came to Russia, Putin stressed that Moscow did not agree to give Kim any arms deal.
“Korea is our neighbour, and we must build good neighbourly relations with our neighbours one way or another,” Putin said during a press conference after his talks with Lukashenko.
“Yes, there are certain specifics associated with the Korean peninsula. We discuss this openly; we never violate anything; and in this case we are not going to violate anything.
“But, of course, we will look for opportunities to develop Russian-North Korean relations.”

It comes after the European Parliament accused Lukashenko of being complicit Putin’s war crimes in Ukraine.
In a resolution adopted by lawmakers in Strasbourg on Wednesday, the International Criminal Court is being urged to issue a warrant for Lukashenko’s arrest.
The Belarusian President, it claims, enabled “Russia’s unjustified war of aggression” and therefore carries direct responsibility” for the destruction and damage caused to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Ukraine attacked Putin with a 10-missile and unmanned boats strike this week.
Kyiv’s defence forces confirmed they carried out an overnight airstrike on Russian boats docked in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, damaging a landing ship and a submarine as well as a repair facility.
Russia claimed its troops intercepted seven of the ten missiles launched at the port but conceded in a Telegram post they had suffered damages in the attack.
According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the strike could ultimately have “reverberating impacts” on Moscow and leave the dry dock “inoperable” until fully cleared.
