North Korea's Kim Jong-un Arrives in Russia for Talks with Putin
----------------------------------------------------------------

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has arrived in Russia for talks with
Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kim made the journey from Pyongyang to
the eastern Russian city of Vladivostok aboard an armored train. Putin
is reportedly seeking to purchase stockpiles of North Korean artillery
shells and rockets for Russia's war effort in Ukraine; in exchange,
North Korea could receive food, fuel and technology from Moscow.

In Washington, D.C., the State Department threatened new sanctions
against Russia and North Korea, saying any such deal would violate
multiple Security Council resolutions.
