Kim Jong Un visits Russia, underscoring Putin’s isolation.
Putin regrets Soviet invasions of Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
Putin says the US is making the same mistakes as the Soviet Union.

Anne-Claire Legendre, the spokesperson for the French foreign ministry, remarked that Kim Jong Un‘s trip to Russia underscores Moscow’s growing isolation on the global stage in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine.

“Russia is isolated to the point of being forced to turn to North Korea,” Ms Legendre told reporters on Tuesday.

“This is a very strong sign of its international isolation,” she added.

As we’ve been tracking Kim Jong Un’s location, Vladimir Putin has been delivering a speech at the annual Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, where he expressed that the Soviet invasions of Eastern Europe were a regrettable error.

The Soviet invasions of Hungary and Czechoslovakia were both “wrong” and a “mistake.”
Countries should not do anything in foreign policy that “harms the interests of other peoples.”
Washington has “no friends, only interests” and the US is making the same mistakes as the Soviet Union.

In 1956, Hungary witnessed a Soviet Union invasion that resulted in the loss of a minimum of 2,600 Hungarian lives during the conflict.

In 1968, following the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, approximately 137 Czechs and Slovaks lost their lives.

In 2022, Vladimir Putin deployed tens of thousands of Russian troops into Ukraine, sparking the largest land conflict in Europe since World War Two.
