North Korea has made its first official acknowledgement that the Kim-Putin summit is on.
State media reports Kim will be visiting Russia at Putin's invitation.
The report didn't say when or where, but South Korean and Japanese media predict they'll meet as soon as Wednesday in the east coast city of Vladivostok.
Kim is struggling to convince President Trump to ease sanctions, and he may be turning to Putin for help.
The Russian president may see an opportunity to boost his diplomatic profile in the region.
