North Korea's Kim Jong Un may meet with Putin in Russia this month, US official says
THIS IS CHICAGO’S VERY OWN WGN NEWS AT 9. MICAH MATERRE: U.S. IS WARNING NORTH KOREA. IT WILL PAY A PRICE IF DECIDE TO SUPPLY WEAPONS TO RUSSIA. NORTH KOREAN LEADER KIM JONG UN IS EXPECTED TO VISIT RUSSIA LATER THIS MONTH AND MEET WITH RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN. HE MET WITH OTHER SHOWING OFF MILITARY HARDWARE. US IS URGING NORTH KOREAN LEADERS TO KEEP PAST PROMISES TO NOT PROVIDE OR SELL ARMS TO TRYING TO OBTAIN MORE FIRE POWER AS ITS WAR ON UKRAINE DRAGS ON. RUSSIA HAS BEEN FORCED TO SEARCH DESPERATELY AROUND THE WORLD FOR WEAPONS THAT
CAN USE IN ITS WAR IN UKRAINE BECAUSE OF OUR SANCTIONS AND EXPORT CONTROLS. AND THE EFFECTS THAT THOSE THAT I THINK IT SAYS A LOT THAT RUSSIA IS HAVING TO TURN TO A COUNTRY LIKE NORTH KOREA TO SEEK TO BOLSTER ITS DEFENSE CAPACITY IN A WAR THAT IT EXPENDED EXPECTED WOULD BE OVER IN A WEEK. THANKS TO ALL U.S.. OFFICIALS BELIEVE NORTH KOREA WILL USE THE WEAPONS TO ASK FOREIGN EXCHANGE. MICAH MATERRE: THEY SAY NORTH KOREA WILL PROBABLY ASK FOR FOOD, ENERGY SHIPMENTS, UNSOPHISTICATED WEAPONS
