Russian President, Vladimir Putin has accepted an invitation from North Korea’s Kim Jong Un to visit North Korea after the two leaders held their first face-to-face summit in four years.
Kim is in Russia’s far east as Putin looks to reinforce alliances amid Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, and as the North Korean leader continues to advance his country’s military modernisation.
The talks in Russia have raised concern in the United States and elsewhere that Kim might be prepared to sell arms to Moscow for its war in Ukraine.
