Russian President Vladimir Putin begins a state visit to Vietnam on Thursday, a day after signing a mutual defence pact with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, who offered his “full support” on Ukraine.
Putin and Kim inked a strategic treaty at a summit in Pyongyang that included a pledge to come to each other’s aid if attacked.
Washington and its allies accuse North Korea of supplying ammunition and missiles to Russia for its war in Ukraine, and the deal fueled fears of more deliveries.
