5:08 pm
includes jo, true and real, and he's the director of munitions. this is to the department responsible for producing conventional artillery, the sort of weapons that russia would need to support its war on ukraine as also the naval commander of north korea. this comes in at tools of the 2 countries discussing possible joint to minute treat drills. now and alms deals would be against you and security council resolutions. and there's also the concern that north korea could be getting technology that would help it advance it's nuclear weapons program. in return for selling arms to russia, and that's why we've had us officials. we knew the warnings to north korea. and we've also recently hud, south korean president, you into your china to pay a stronger role in cub being the nuclear threat from north korea. florence louis alger 0. so all right, let's get you some geography now on this kim john own began his journey and pee on
