Russian president Vladimir Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong Un are believed to have swapped letters as Russia seeks support in the Ukraine war.
US intelligence showed that Putin and Kim Jong Un have swapped letters and pledged to increase their co-operation, the White House said.Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu, during a recent visit to Pyongyang, called on North Korean officials to increase the sale of munitions to Moscow for its war in Ukraine, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said.The letters are "more at the surface level" but Russian and North Korean talks on a weapons sale are advancing, he explained.
"This sends the wrong message to aspiring proliferators that if you sell Russia arms, Russia will even enable your pursuit of nuclear weapons," according to a statement read by US ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who was flanked by diplomats from the three other countries.
