Kim Jong Un strengthens alliance with Putin amid Ukraine war

Published on June 12, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

North Korean leader sent a letter to Vladimir Putin reaffirming his unconditional support for Russia, highlighting the strategic partnership treaty signed in 2024. This move, criticized internationally, consolidates an alliance that increases geopolitical tensions and threatens global economic stability, with potential effects on prices and services worldwide.

Missiles and chips: the military technology uniting Pyongyang and Moscow 🚀

The treaty includes military technology transfer, such as North Korean ballistic missiles and Russian electronic components. North Korea sends artillery shells and rocket systems, while receiving assistance for its satellite and long-range missile program. This technical cooperation challenges UN sanctions and accelerates the arms development of both countries, altering the balance of power in Asia and Europe.

WHO recommends not mixing kimchi with vodka at diplomatic summits 😂

While Kim and Putin send each other tactical love letters, the rest of the world wonders if the next summit will include a missile launch obstacle course. For now, the alliance has managed to raise the price of uranium more than that of instant noodles in Seoul. At least, if a global war breaks out, we know that kimchi and vodka will not be lacking in the bunkers.
