The meeting with Kim Jong Un could allow Vladimir Putin to emerge as an essential player in the North Korean nuclear standoff.

North Korea confirmed Tuesday that Kim will soon visit Russia to meet with Putin in a summit that comes at a crucial moment for tenuous diplomacy meant to rid the North of its nuclear arsenal. The screen reads: "Kim Jong Un visits Russia soon.
“There are areas where Washington and Moscow can and do cooperate, and North Korea is one of those areas,” said Dmitri Trenin, the director of the Carnegie Moscow Center. Moscow has argued that the crisis should be settled through U.S. providing security guarantees to the North and easing sanctions against Pyongyang.
“We don’t need to punish North Korean people or even elite, we need to find a new way for them to be incorporated into the modern world,” Toloraya said. “The U.S. knows that we don’t have our own egoistic interests in North Korea, unlike China.” When Kim Jong Un came to power, the Kremlin hoped that he would visit Moscow to attend a 2015 Red Square parade marking the 70th anniversary of its WWII victory. Kim didn’t show up.
