A North Korean train presumed to be carrying leader Kim Jong Un has departed for Russia for a possible meeting between Kim and Russian President Vladimir Putin, South Korean media said Monday.
Citing unidentified South Korean government sources, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported that the train likely left the North Korean capital of Pyongyang on Sunday evening and that aThe Yonhap news agency and some other media published similar reports. Japan’s Kyodo news agency cited Russian officials as saying that Kim was possibly heading for Russia on his personal train.
U.S. officials released intelligence last week that North Korea and Russia were arranging a meeting between their leaders that would take place within this monthin the face of deepening confrontations with the United States. A possible venue for the meeting is the eastern Russian city of Vladivostok, where Putin arrived Monday to attend an international forum that runs through Wednesday, according to Russia’s Tass news agency. The city was also the site of Putin’s first meeting with Kim in 2019.
According to U.S. officials, Putin could focus on securing more supplies of North Korean artillery and other ammunitionas he seeks to defuse a Ukrainian counteroffensive and show that he’s capable of grinding out a long war of attrition. That could potentially put more pressure on the U.S. and its partners as concerns about an even more protracted conflict grow despite their huge shipments of advanced weaponry to Ukraine over the last 17 months.
