There is a special friendship between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. This is the reason why both of them keep sending special gifts to each other. But this time the gift that Putin has given to Kim Jong Un is being discussed a lot. This gift is Orlov Trotter horses, which Putin has sent to Kim Jong Un for riding. They also have a connection with the Ukraine war.
According to The Times report, Kim likes Orlov Trotter breed horses very much. He has been seen riding them earlier as well. But this time the gift is special. Actually, Kim Jong Un has opened his arms depots for the Ukraine war. A huge amount of ammunition has been sent to Russia so that it can fight the war against Ukraine. Putin has repaid this favor of his friend by giving him a gift. He has sent 24 purebred horses to Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. These include 19 stallions and 5 mares.
A few days ago, when Putin went to North Korea to meet Kim Jong Un, Kim Jong Un gifted him Pungsan dogs. This is a hunting dog, which can even hunt tigers. At that time, Putin had taken goats with him to gift to Kim. However, two years ago, Pyongyang also received 30 Orlov Trotters and Kim was seen riding a white horse in a promotional video. His pictures went viral on social media. The horse Kim was riding is a symbol of North Korea’s heritage. It has been named Chollima. Actually, Chollima is a mythological character. Korea has also made a rocket booster named Chollima.
