SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has arrived in Russia ahead of an expected meeting with President Vladimir Putin that has sparked Western concerns about a potential arms deal for Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
Kim was joined on his trip by his top military officials handling his nuclear-capable weapons and munitions factories. South Korea’s military assessed that Kim’s train crossed into Russia early Tuesday.
A Kremlin official was quoted in Russian media as saying a meeting would take place after a forum Putin is attending that concludes Wednesday. The officials traveling with him may hint at what Kim might seek from Putin and what he would be willing to give.
