The Kremlin has announced that Kim Jong Un will travel to Russia amid Western concerns that the North Korean strongman will provide military support for President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.
On its website, the Kremlin said the visit would happen in “the coming days.”
Last week, U.S. officials said potential arms sales from the North to Moscow were discussed when Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visited Pyongyang earlier this summer, and that these discussions are likely to continue to include “leader-level diplomatic engagement in Russia.”
The Kremlin and North Korean state media had kept mum ahead of the visit.
