North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is likely to enter Russia

Kim Jong Un has arrived in Russia to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Kyodo News reported this, citing its sources.

"North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's train has entered Russia and is moving north along the coast toward the Amur region after stopping at Khasan station," the report said.

At the same time, Russian media reported that Putin had begun his speech at an economic forum in Vladivostok, 270 km from the Khasan station.

Russian presidential spokesman Peskov said that the heads of state were to meet in a one-on-one format without a press conference.

"The Russian Federation and the DPRK are guided by the interests of bilateral relations, and Moscow and Pyongyang are not interested in the statements of the United States," Peskov said. 

It will be recalled that in July 2023, the North Korean leader met with Russian Defence Minister Shoigu in Pyongyang. Together they visited an exhibition of military equipment.
