Kim Jong-un, the dictator of North Korea, arrived in Russia on Tuesday, September 12. He is set to meet with President Vladimir Putin, as confirmed by Kremlin sources.
The meeting between these leaders, both subjects of Western sanctions, had been a subject of speculation, but it has now been officially confirmed by the Russian Presidency.
The North Korean dictator traveled to Russia in a luxurious armored train following a journey that lasted approximately one day.
The purpose of this meeting is to negotiate an agreement in which North Korea would supply more weaponry in exchange for Russia’s support in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This expectation has raised concerns about the potential military strengthening of North Korea.
