Moscow and Pyongyang confirm North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will visit Russia

Russia and North Korea confirmed that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will visit Russia in a highly anticipated meeting with President Vladimir Putin that has sparked Western concerns about a potential arms deal for Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
A brief statement on the Kremlin’s website said Kim’s visit is at Putin’s invitation and would take place “in the coming days.”
The visit also was reported by North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency, which said the leaders would meet – without specifying when and where.
Associated Press journalists near the North Korea-Russia frontier saw a green train with yellow trim – similar to the train used by Kim during previous foreign trips – at a station on the North Korean side of a border river.
It was unclear whether Kim was on the train, which was seen moving back and forth between the station and the approach to the bridge that connects the countries.
Citing unidentified South Korean government sources, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported that the train likely left the North Korean capital of Pyongyang on Sunday evening and that a Kim-Putin meeting is possible as early as today
