The armoured train that Mr Kim uses for foreign visits appears to have departed Pyongyang, South Korean media reported citing a government official.

The meeting between the two leaders is expected to take place as early as Tuesday local time.

The Kremlin has confirmed that Mr Kim will visit Russia "in the coming days".

If the summit with Mr Putin goes ahead, it will be the North Korean leader's first international trip in more than four years, and the first since the pandemic.

The two leaders will likely discuss the possibility of North Korea providing Moscow with weapons to support its war in Ukraine, a US official earlier told CBS, the BBC's US partner.

Mr Kim's last trip abroad was also to Vladivostok in 2019 for his first summit with Mr Putin after the collapse of North Korea's nuclear disarmament talks with then US President Donald Trump.

Mr Kim also travelled to Vladivostok by train in 2019.

"Mr Kim".
He seems to have many titles like supreme leader. Suppose the BBC didn't want to use that?

I just copied them because it sounded kinda funny lol

They actually have a shitton of artillery shells, and they produce a ton of them, too. That's the real worry here.

Imagine being so underequipped you have to bum weapons off North Korea.

The train is armored, but are the tracks?

The food here is terrible. My steak was so tough it attacked my coffee and the coffee was too weak to defend itself.

It mentions they check pretty heavily in front of the train for bombs and whatnot

I found a WaPo article about it. It is very luxurious in terms of food, drink, entertainment, and meeting spaces but due to its armor it can only go 55 mph.

Armored trains are such a hilariously outdated concept
