North Korean Leader In Russia For Talks With Putin

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has arrived via rail in Russia where he is due to meet President Vladimir Putin

Moscow wants to buy North Korean ammunitions for the war in Ukraine, says the US

North Korea meanwhile wants food aid and possibly technology to help its banned nuclear and missiles programme, analysts say

Putin is in Vladivostok in Russia’s far east, which is around 200km (125 miles) from the North Korean border

But it’s not clear exactly where they will meet – Kim’s train is reportedly heading north, away from Vladivostok

One possible meeting point is Vostochny space centre in Russia’s far east

This is Kim’s first trip abroad in four years – he last met Putin face to face in 2019
