SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea said Monday that leader Kim Jong Un would visit Russia and meet President Vladimir Putin, with the reclusive leader's armoured train reportedly on its way to the border.
Experts suggest that Putin is seeking artillery shells and antitank missiles from North Korea for Moscow's war in Ukraine, while Kim is reportedly in search of advanced technology for satellites and nuclear-powered submarines, as well as food aid for his impoverished nation.
Broadcaster YTN said Seoul"expects that Chairman Kim will hold a meeting with President Putin of Russia around the day after tomorrow", meaning Wednesday. Washington said Russia could use weapons from North Korea to attack Ukrainian food supplies and heating infrastructure heading into winter to"try to conquer territory that belongs to another sovereign nation".
"The major worry of the Russian government now is a possible shipment of the South Korean ammunition to Ukraine, not just one shipment but a lot of shipments," Lankov said.
