To american officials and several media outlets. In a statement, Us National Security Officials Say that Arms Negotiations between russia and north korea are actively advancing. We know that the Russian Defense minister travelled to north korea to convince them to sell Artillery Ammunition to russia. We urge north korea to cease its negotiations and abide by the public commitments that pyongyang has made to not provide or sell arms to russia. The two men already met in russia in 2019, for their first ever summit that took place in vladivostok. It is likely that this meeting, should it happen, would take place in that same city or possibly in moscow in september. Here is whatjohn everard, British Ambassador to north korea between 2006 and 2008 makes out of kimjong un and putins plan to meet in russia to discuss weapons. But of course the background is all about the possibility that north korea might supply russia with useful amounts of munitions and other weapons for its war effort agai
First line of russian defences and part of the south. Now mine fields have been blocking the troops for weeks. That means when they are blocked, of course they are vulnerable to russian shelly. Its been dangerous, but careful my Clearing Operation has been making it where they can advance. Ukraine says gains have been made in the south and have expanded their units towards the town of tokmak, Logistics Centre for russian forces. In the last hour or two we have these pictures into the newsroom of zelensky there visiting with troops on the front line. This is it donetsk. I spoke to drjenny mathers. She is a Senior Lecturer at the department of International Politics of the Aberystwyth University in wales. I asked just how significant this is. I think its potentially very significant both symbolically and in material terms because i think weve known for the last several months that the russian defences were very formidable. They would be difficult for the ukrainians to get through, and th

We know that russia needs more Artillery Ammunition with very few friends around the world. It is perhaps telling they are turning to a pariah state, like north korea, too it seems source this weaponry that they crucially need to pursue the war in ukraine.
