North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is traveling to Russia at the invitation of President Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin confirmed on Monday.
Kim's trip comes as the Biden administration has warned the two countries are in advanced negotiations for North Korea to provide weapons to Russia for use in Ukraine."At the invitation of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, Chairman of State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Kim Jong-un will pay an official visit to Russia in the coming days," the Kremlin said in a statement.
Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters that the department"expect[s] some type of meeting," while State Department spokesman Matthew Miller declined to answer what North Korea is seeking from Russia in exchange for the military support. "Our current analysis is that discussions between North Korea and Russia, with respect to North Korea providing military support to Russia for its war in Ukraine — that those discussions are actively advancing," national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters last week.
