Hello everyone. Like every day, the editorial staff of 20 minutes is mobilized to give you the latest information on the conflict in Ukraine. This Tuesday, Pyongyang and Moscow will have the opportunity to further cement their relations. North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un left Pyongyang by train on Sunday to go to Russia, where he is to meet “Comrade Putin”, the KCNA news agency announced on Tuesday.
Experts say the trip to Vladivostok, in Russia’s far east, where an annual economic forum is being held, could be about an arms deal. Vladimir Putin is reportedly seeking to obtain North Korean weapons and ammunition for Russian forces fighting in Ukraine. North Korea, for its part, would seek to obtain advanced technologies from Russia for its satellite and submarine program.
