It should be noted that, according to the US newspaper New York Times, Russia and North Korea are in negotiations on the delivery of weapons. Russia is seeking to obtain artillery shells and anti-tank missiles from Pyongyang, while North Korea is hoping to receive cutting-edge technology for satellites and nuclear submarines, as well as food aid.
According to the same newspaper, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his North Korean counterpart, Kim Jong-un, may soon meet in Vladivostok, a Russian coastal city close to North Korea.
Already this Tuesday, the spokesman of the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, refused to confirm the information about the meeting between Russian and North Korean leaders, but admitted the possibility of joint military exercises.
