Kim Jong-Un Russian Visit: What Is In Store For North Korea's Leader In Upcoming Trip To Russia?

Kim Jong-Un Russian visit has started a lot of burning questions online. What exactly is the visit for and who is the North Korean leader going to talk to? Are North Korea and Russia planning something devilish up their sleeves?

First and for all, readers should fret not because Kim Jong-Un's Russian visit is nothing short of a plan for World War IV. According to BBC News, the North Korean leader has accepted Russia's invitation to travel to Moscow. The said visit is for the World War II anniversary celebrations set to take place in May.

While Kim Jong-Un's Russian visit has yet to be confirmed by the North Korean leader himself or of his representatives, Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has also added to the speculation that another official might attend the celebrations.

Since taking his seat as the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-Un has yet to make any international visits. Who knows? Kim Jong-Un Russian visit to Moscow in May could be the first. However, the latest updates claim that it might not be Kim Jong-Un after all but Kim Yong-nam instead.

Kim Yong-nam is the nominal head of state in North Korea. The foreign minister Sergei Lavrov had formerly talked to journalists on Jan. 21 stating that Russia extended their invite to Kim Yong-nam. This in itself thus confirms that Kim Jong-Un Russian visit is certainly not going to happen. This is contrary to reports by a South Korean news agency last Wednesday.

"About 20 state leaders have confirmed their attendance, and the North Korean leader is among them," quotes Yonhap, the news agency of South Korean, regarding Kim Jong-Un Russian visit.

With one news report after another involving Kim Jong-Un Russian visit, which one is the truth? Other reports claim that the visit is meant for North Korea and Russia to boost their political ties.
