The newspaper notes that this is not the first time that the Russian leader has gifted horses to Kim Jong-un. The previous batch, consisting of three dozen animals, was sent to Pyongyang in 2022.
“Kim Jong-un has received a new shipment of horses from Russia, the latest sign of the growing closeness between the North Korean leader and President Putin,” — indicate the authors of the material.
They draw attention to the fact that the leader of the DPRK began to appear more and more often in propaganda photos riding Orel trotters.
