North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is planning to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin this month to discuss a potential arms deal, according to a US official. The meeting will take place in Russia, although the exact location is unclear. The US has warned North Korea to cease negotiations with Russia and abide by its commitments not to provide or sell arms. If a deal were to be reached, it would violate UN Security Council resolutions. This comes after Russia's defense minister visited North Korea to discuss acquiring artillery ammunition, and both Russia and China sent high-level delegations to North Korea in July.
