Kim Jong-Un has met with Russia’s defence minister to inspect the Kremlin’s newest military weapons.

Kim viewed Russia’s nuclear-capable bombers, hypersonic missiles and an advanced warship from its Pacific fleet on Saturday.

The North Korean leader’s visit to Russia’s Far East has sparked Western concerns about an arms alliance that could ramp up Vladimir Putin’s attack on Ukraine.

However, Putin has said no such agreement will be made. The allies are both under a catalogue of international sanctions with Pyongyang for its nuclear tests and Moscow for the Ukraine war.
