Kim Jong Un is believed to be en route to Russia ahead of a summit with Vladimir Putin that has sparked western concern about a potential arms deal that could bolster Moscow‘s on-going war in Ukraine.
A brief statement on the Kremlin’s website said the visit is at Putin’s invitation and would take place ‘in the coming days’.
It also was reported by North Korea‘s official Korean Central News Agency, which said the leaders would meet – without specifying when and where.
Reports in South Korean – citing intelligence sources – said the North Korean dictator is currently in transit, travelling from North Korea’s capital of Pyongyang to Russia, likely the eastern city of Vladivostok where Putin arrived today.
However, unlike most modern-day diplomatic meetings, it is understood that Kim is not travelling by private jet, but rather on his very own heavily armoured train.
