An expected increase in supply for Russian military personnel was aired by the North Korean leader, who held discussions with Russia ‘ defence minister Sergei Shoigu this week. The duo allegedly discussed “staregic and tactical coordination” between the countries’ militaries, with Kim shown a flurry of nuclear-capable bombers and hypersonic missiles during his visit.
