Russian President Vladimir Putin stated today, Friday, that his country "will not violate any agreements related to Korea, following his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un this week in the far east of Russia." Putin said, "Korea is our neighbor, and we must, in one way or another, build good neighborly relations with our neighbors." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that "Russia and North Korea have not signed any agreements concerning military matters or in any other areas during Kim Jong Un's visit to Russia this week."
