SEOUL­—North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s train “appears” to have departed for Russia, possibly for a summit with President Vladimir

US and other officials told The New York Times at the weekend that Kim, who rarely leaves North Korea, was soon likely to head by armored train to Vladivostok, on Russia’s Pacific coast, for arms talks with Putin.

Moscow, a historical ally of Pyongyang, was a crucial backer of the isolated country for decades and their ties go back to the founding of North Korea 75 years ago. Washington said Russia could use weapons from North Korea to attack Ukrainian food supplies and heating infrastructure heading into winter to “try to conquer territory that belongs to another sovereign nation”.

“The major worry of the Russian government now is a possible shipment of the South Korean ammunition to Ukraine, not just one shipment but a lot of shipments,” Lankov said.
