The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
The fact that Putin has traveled all the way to Russia's far east to meet with Kim shows just how desperate the isolated leader is to secure weaponry while his country struggles to keep up with the production of munitions needed to fight his war in Ukraine.
Pro-Russia narrative
North Korea is Russia's close neighbor. As such, Moscow will strive to strike deals that mutually benefit both countries. What outside administrations have to say about this diplomatic relationship is of no importance and will not factor into Russia's decision making.
