North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in Russia by armored train early on Tuesday amid anticipation that Moscow and Pyongyang could strike an arms deal.
Putin appeared to extend an olive branch to central and eastern European countries on Tuesday when he said the Soviet-led invasions of Budapest and Prague in the 1950s and '60s were a"mistake."
Putin was referring to the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, which ended in 12 days, with Soviet troops killing many in Budapest, and the short-lived 1968 Prague Spring, which was a period of liberalization.
