| Description: | An image of Kim Jong Un has been shared repeatedly in posts that claim the North Korean leader visited Moscow as Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a speech in September 2022. Some posts written in Korean also claim South Korean media ignored Kim’s visit. But the claim — which circulated as Russia pushed on with its war in neighbouring Ukraine — is false. The posts show Kim’s visit to the Russian port city of Vladivostok in April 2019 for a summit with Putin. |
