Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un could meet in the coming weeks for a weapons discussion as the two foreign nations strengthen their relationship, The New York Times reported Monday.
Kim plans to travel to Vladivostok to discuss potentially supplying Russia with weaponry and other military resources in the country’s war against Ukraine, American and allied officials told the NYT. Russia and North Korea have recently increased cooperation and swapped letters about a weapons transfer for Russia’s war effort.
“We have information that Kim Jong Un expects these discussions to continue, to include leader-level diplomatic engagement in Russia,” a State Department spokesperson said in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation
