Closer alliance Putin invites Kim to meet in Moscow

North Korea has supported Russia in its war against Ukraine with weapons and troops, and the Russian president praised North Korean fighters for acting "courageously and heroically".

Putin and Kim were in the Chinese capital as guests of Xi Jinping for a ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the second world war.

The two leaders appeared alongside Xi at the opening of yesterday's ceremony, talking as they walked on the red carpet into Tiananmen Square. It is believed to be the first time the three leaders have been in the same place together.
