Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un pose for a photo during their meeting in Vladivostok, Russia, April 25, 2019. REUTERSPIX: North Korean leader Kim Jong-un plans to travel to Russia this month to meet Russian president Vladimir Putin to discuss the possibility of supplying weapons for the war in Ukraine, the New York Times reported on Monday, citing US and allied sources.
Kim would travel from Pyongyang, probably by armoured train, to Vladivostok, on the Pacific Coast of Russia, where he would meet with Putin, the newspaper saidThe planned trip would come as Russia discusses holding joint military exercises with North Korea and after Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu had tried on a visit to North Korea to convince Pyongyang to sell artillery ammunition to Russia.
The US has previously warned that North Korea could provide more weapons to Russia, whose forces invaded Ukraine in February 2022, a war that the US and its European allies vehemently oppose and that Moscow calls a “special military operation.” White House national security spokesman John Kirby said on Aug. 30 that the US was concerned that arms negotiations between the two countries were advancing actively. - Reuters
