MOSCOW, June 19 — Russian President Vladimir Putin has given North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a Russian-built Aurus limousine, a tea set and an admiral’s dirk, Russia’s state news agency TASS reported today, citing Putin’s adviser Yuri Ushakov.

Putin in turn was given various works of art, Ushakov was quoted as saying.

Cheering crowds and lavish ceremonies greeted Putin in Pyongyang today, where Kim Jong Un expressed “full support” for Russia’s war in Ukraine and pledged stronger strategic ties with Moscow. — Reuters
