WASHINGTON - Kim Jong Un plans to travel to Russia this month to meet President Vladimir Putin and discuss the possibility of supplying Moscow with weapons for the war in Ukraine, as Russia says it is seeking closer military ties with North Korea.

South Korean news agency Yonhap earlier cited South Korea’s intelligence agency as saying Mr Shoigu, whohad proposed to Mr Kim that their countries hold a naval exercise, along with China.
On Saturday, Russia’s ambassador to North Korea, Alexander Matsegora, told Tass news agency that he was not aware of any plans for North Korea to participate in trilateral military drills with China and Russia, but that in his opinion it would be “appropriate” in light of US-led exercises in the region.
