Ukraine war: Kim Jong Un to meet Vladimir Putin in Russia

North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un plans to travel to Russia this month to meet President Vladimir Putin, a US official has confirmed.

The two leaders will discuss the possibility of North Korea providing Moscow with weapons to support its war in Ukraine, the official said.

The exact location of the planned meeting is not clear.

The possible meeting comes after the White House said it had new information that arms negotiations between the two countries were "actively advancing".
