MOSCOW/SEOUL (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said Russia would help North Korea launch satellites and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said Moscow had his full backing in its "sacred fight" with the West as they met on Wednesday at a cosmodrome in Russia's Far East.

They would discuss "all issues", Putin said when asked if the two leaders would talk about getting supplies from the North to replenish Moscow's dwindling stock of weapons and ammunition at the summit at the Vostochny Cosmodrome space station.
