Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea, plans to travel to Russia this month to meet with President Vladimir V. Putin to discuss the possibility of supplying Russia with more weaponry for its war in Ukraine and other military cooperation, according to American and allied officials.
In a rare foray from his country, Mr. Kim would travel from Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital, probably by armored train, to Vladivostok, on the Pacific Coast of Russia, where he would meet with Mr. Putin, the officials said. Mr. Kim could possibly go to Moscow, though that is not certain.
Mr. Putin wants Mr. Kim to agree to send Russia artillery shells and antitank missiles, and Mr. Kim would like Russia to provide North Korea with advanced technology for satellites and nuclear-powered submarines, the officials said. Mr. Kim is also seeking food aid for his impoverished nation.

“Joe Biden is a uniter of our enemies.”
Well, as much as I despise Joe Biden, Russia and North Korea have been allies for about 70 years.
Putin just securing more Allies for his Axis Powers. A Weapons for food and rocket science swap might be in the works. It may well mean Russian Troops to help bolster North Korea. North Korea, by herself, isn’t much of a threat, but link her with a bunch of other states and they can be formidable.
Russia likes their armored trains.
Why would Russia need anything from N. Korea? I hear the Russians are more than capable of producing their own weapons.
We gotta lotta grain for ya Kim...about time your people got to eat more than just dirt.
Maybe Kim Jong-un can find a better barber in Russia.
Well, at least Kim is getting enough to eat these days.
Two champions of peace and democracy.
The only thing that could make the Liberal’s heads explode more would be if Tucker Carlson were to interview them together!
Another match made in DC by the nimrods running the Uke fiasco. This has been going on with millions of rounds already sent. It’s not as though the NORKS don’t have them to spare. What they don’t have is the nuclear capability to further tie down the alliance waging war on Russia. DC has seen that Kim will get everything he needs in exchange for artillery tubes, if needed, and ammo.
pooty must be desperate LOL
The story has the smell of an intelligence community leak to make Putin look bad by associating him with Kim Jong-Un.
Kim is bad enough and crazy enough without the spin from the Deep State.
If Kim goes crazy it’s the Deep State’s bag of poop that they will want to blame on Putin, Trump anybody but themselves.
At least Trump tried to talk to the guy reach him with sense that global capitalism might be a brighter future for North Korea than its Marxist ideology.
North Korean slaves work in Russia and many other Asian countries.
Putin could easily enough ante up the Nork food aid by magnanimous restarting the UKE grain safe passage plan, minus what Putin wants diverted to Norkland in exchange for years worth of artillery shells and rockets.
Zelensky fired his defense minister yesterday. Smells like distracting spin. Russia doesn’t have enough ability to produce its own arms.
The old “Russia is weak” notion is being spun by the Deep State intelligence apparatus of the Pro-Ukraine countries.
Russia doesn't need a safe passage plan to supply NK with wheat.
The only people who need that deal are NATO countries and their supplicants.
