this meeting between vladimir putin and kimmy young and reportedly revolves around russia buying or tillery shells, an anti tank missiles from north korea, north korea for it's part, reportedly wants technology for satellites and nuclear powered submarines from russia. it also reportedly wants food aid. now the new york times is saying that the north korean leader will likely travel by arm or train to the eastern coastal city of lottie vos stock, where the eastern economic forum is taking place and also perhaps to moscow. but that is not yet certain. although it is important to highlight at this point about, we don't know exactly what will happen. and if this meeting might push through, or if, if it is certain to take place in any form at all, the us has made a point of making strategic disclosures around dealings between bradshaw and north

korea. with the aim of de, tearing these 2 countries from engaging with one another, it could be that the publicity around a reported the can be on, on the trip to rush out, could be the thing that blocks it from happening in the 1st place. can be on, on the reported the can notoriously, very secretive about his personal movements. but of course, this is something that the us and allied countries are watching very closely. and if these reports turn out to be correct, is this a surprise that moscow is looking to source arms from north korea? as well know in a phrase it is not at this time last year the us was already warning that russia was buying a weapons from north korea. we heard a few days ago from white house officials saying that the 2 leaders were exchanging letters. in fact, in july, we even saw the russian defense minister surgery,
5:04 am
so i go visit to young young where arms deals were also likely discuss important. so highlight here that russia, of course, because of sanctions, has been cut off from international supply chains, and that's made it difficult for it to maintain military supplies, even if it does have advance production capabilities. north korea, of course it's cut off from most international trade anyway. as such, there's nothing much to discourage it from dealing with russia. but as we can see, the, the war is clearly pushing these 2 countries closer together. and what could north korean weapons mean for the war and ukraine? well, without knowing what exactly is going to be delivered in which quantities, when it's hard to say how this will shape the battle on the ground. but to what we did here from the national security council spokesperson, john kirby, he did acknowledge
5:05 am
a few days ago that artillery was likely on the list. raw materials was likely on the list as the the counter offensive in ukraine has largely centered around a gun fight. and of course, you need a lot of artillery for that. but he also said that from the us, his perspective, the fact that russia is having to turn to what he calls the rogue states. like north korea is a sign of desperation and weak this on the part of lagging or putting. now whether or not that is true, of course we cannot verify, but suffice to say, this is evidence of a world order being cemented where you have western allies and support for ukraine on one side and russia and pariah states on the other. and of course, that will have implications for the international security landscape. mm. do you know the is janelle dom along live from washington d. c. thanks for joining us. talks aimed at reviving an international agreement allowing ukraine to export its grain have ended without a breakthrough. russia's president vladimir putin met with his turkish counterpart
