North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un is on his way to Russia for a meeting with President Vladimir Putin. US officials suggest talks of North Korea providing Russia with weaponry for the Ukraine War will dominate upcoming meetings. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has confirmed the North Korean leader will be visiting Russia in the coming days. Kim Jong Un has just wrapped up celebrations for his country’s 75th anniversary but behind the festive scenes, the economy has found itself in dire financial need. Putin has yet to provide such an economic boost to North Korea despite previous negotiations, but if munitions provided by Kim Jong Un begin to trickle from the Kremlin to Russia’s Ukrainian offensive, it will speak to desperation from the Soviet nation.
