About this episode
A secretive journey aboard an armoured luxury train has transported North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-Un into Russia for a meeting with Vladimir Putin.
It’s a trip with a high-stakes agenda, as North Korea has something that Russia wants: weapons and ammunition to help in its fight against Ukraine.
So, what could this deal lead to in Ukraine, and could it threaten security in Australia’s region?
Today, world editor for The Saturday Paper, Jonathan Pearlman, on Putin’s desperate wartime quest and the danger of what North Korea might receive in return.
