Vladimir Putin welcomes Kim Jong Un to first summit in Russia

Kim and Putin met for their summit in the Russian city of Vladivostok, where Kim is likely to seek support from the Russian leader as nuclear talks between North Korea and the U.S. hang in limbo. The summit reflects Russia’s effort to position itself as an essential player in the North Korean nuclear standoff. Kim’s first trip to Russia comes about two months after his second summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, which failed because of disputes over sanctions on the North.
