Kim Jong Un meets Vladimir Putin in Russia. What do Pyongyang and Moscow want from each other?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Kim is likely also seeking Russian technology to support his plans to build high-tech weapons systems such as powerful long-range missiles, hypersonic ballistic weapons, nuclear-powered submarines and spy satellites, said Hong Min, an analyst at Seoul's Korea Institute for National Unification.
45% : If not, how could the defense minister of a powerful country at war come to a small country like North Korea?" said Kim Taewoo, former head of Seoul's Korea Institute for National Unification.
44% : But now that it faces international sanctions and export controls over its war in Ukraine, Russia has been seeking weapons from other sanctioned countries such as North Korea and Iran.
35% : Buying munitions from North Korea would be a violation of United Nations resolutions, supported by Russia, that ban all arms trade with the isolated country.
