Nuke fears as Putin looks to Kim for weapons deal

Warning over tyrants' arms talks

- CHRIS HUGHES

NORTH Korean despot Kim Jongun could try to get nuclear technology from Vladimir Putin in exchange for arms, it is feared.

The warning came after it emerged Kim is likely to meet the Russian tyrant within weeks, when they will discuss the war in Ukraine.

Russia is running short of missiles and other ammunition and also needs to find a new supplier of assault rifle and machine gun rounds.

Experts believe the likely price of assistance from Kim will be currency, food, oil and possibly missile technology or components for Pyongyang's nuclear programme.
