North Korean leader Kim Jong Un expects to make a rare trip abroad to meet with President Vladimir Putin in
Ukraine is pushing a highly-scrutinised counteroffensive in both the south and east that Putin on Monday dismissed as a failure, though Moscow appears eager to urgently secure more military supplies to bolster its forces.
The United States last week warned that Russia was already in secret, active talks with the North to acquire a range of munitions and supplies for Moscow’s war effort. Kim is reported to be seeking advanced technology for satellites and nuclear-powered submarines, as well as food aid for his impoverished nation.
They said that following Shoigu’s visit to Pyongyang, another group of Russian officials traveled to North Korea for follow-up talks. Ukrainian officials have claimed some progress in the key counteroffensive after Russia’s invasion in February 2022, but Putin on Monday again claimed that the attempt to retake land lost to Moscow had been unsuccessful.
