The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has invited President Vladimir Putin to visit North Korea during their meeting in Russia yesterday, amid warnings that Kim was poised to offer the Kremlin artillery shells and other munitions for the war in Ukraine. Kim told Putin that their closely watched meeting had brought bilateral ties to a new level, and expressed his willingness to foster stable, future-oriented relations for the next 100 years. Pyongyang’s state media report went on to say that Kim was briefed on technical details about Russian space vehicles during his visit to a cosmodrome, but there was no mention of any arms supplies, trade of weapons or technical assistance over weapons programs. US and South Korean officials have expressed concern that Kim could provide weapons and ammunition to Russia, which has expended vast stocks in more than 18 months of war in Ukraine. But both Moscow and Pyongyang have denied such intentions.
