Mr Putin is expected to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday local time for talks focused on expanding military cooperation as they deepen their alignment in the face of separate and intensifying confrontations with Washington. US and South Korean officials have accused the North of providing Russia with artillery, missiles and other military equipment to help prolong its fighting in Ukraine, possibly in return for key military technologies and aid.Both Pyongyang and Moscow have denied accusations about North Korean weapons transfers, which would be in violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
Mr Lankov said while Russia could be reluctant to share its state-of-the-art military technologies with North Korea, it is eager to receive munitions from Pyongyang.Mr Putin first visited Pyongyang in July 2000, months after his first election when he met with Mr Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, who ruled the country then.
Earlier this year, Mr Putin sent Mr Kim a high-end Aurus Senat limousine, which he had shown to the North Korean leader when they met for a summit in September.
