North Korean leader and dictator Kim Jong Un may meet Russian President Vladimir Putin. If reports are to be believed, Kim may visit Russia soon because Russia is trying to acquire military equipment for use in its war in Ukraine. An American official has given information in this regard.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US expects Kim to visit Russia within this month. The official said the US is not sure where and when the meeting will take place, but Vladivostok, a port city on the Pacific Ocean, could be a possible venue due to its relative distance from North Korea.
National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visited North Korea last month and tried to persuade it to sell ammunition to Russia.
Watson said that we have received information that Kim Jong Un may possibly continue these discussions, which will also include leader-level diplomatic involvement in Russia.
He said the US urges North Korea to “cease its arms talks with Russia and adhere to Pyongyang’s public commitments not to supply or sell arms to Russia.” Shoigu said on Monday that both Countries can conduct joint war exercises. The ‘New York Times’ was the first to report that Kim may meet Putin in Russia this month.
