VLADIMIR Putin’s Ukraine war is a “golden” ticket for Kim Jong-un as the tyrant could try and trade weapons for nukes.
The North Korean despot is supplying tens of thousands of containers of weapons to Russia for its illegal invasion.

One expert said in return Kim could be getting “Holy Grail” nuclear technology.
Professor Justin Hastings said nuclear weapon tech was the “Holy Grail of what North Korea wanted”.
The twisted tyrant is looking to grow his nuclear arsenal and make his weapons of mass destruction even deadlier.
But, the University of Sydney expert said Russia might be hesitant to hand it over, instead looking to help the Hermit Kingdom in other ways.
He said: “It may be a combination of hard currency, oil, and technological assistance with its satellite program, its missile program.”
He said North Korea could also be after their “holy grail” – nuclear weapon technology.
He said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was a “golden opportunity” for North Korea.
“For North Korea this was a essentially a godsend.”
“One of the interesting things about North Korea is that they they were one of the few countries that didn’t hide their support of Russia.”
“It can support Russia wholeheartedly in this [invasion]”
He said North Korea doesn’t care about the morality or legality of Russia invading Ukraine.
“It allows them to sell lots of weapons to Russia.
“It allows Russia to play interference or gives Russia incentives to play interference for North Korea on sanctions.”
He said selling weapons to Russia had allowed the country to decrease the leverage China has over it.

Russia using the weapons in Ukraine had also proved to be a good testing ground for the weapons.
“North Korean weapons have now been used more in Ukraine since they have been in total since 1953.”
“Everything’s coming up positive for North Korea. This is a no lose situation for it when it comes to participation in Ukraine.”
In September last year, the pair met at a summit in Russia’s Amur region where the tinpot tyrant gave his support for Putin’ “sacred fight” in Ukraine.
Kim has sent 13,000 shipping containers carrying arms to Russia for the war over a two-year period, one South Korean minister said.
Ammunition supplies are critical for Russia to continue prosecuting its war and killing the innocent Ukrainians.
In January, Russia used North Korean missiles to blitz Ukraine for the first time killing at least 50 people.

Putin fired the Hwasong 11-series ballistic missile at civilians with the US accusing Vlad of firing the bombs at his neighbours eight more times.
The missile typically has a 250kg or 485kg warhead and can be fired up to 137miles.
At the end of last month, small North Korean tanks, named Bulsae-4, were even spotted fighting in Ukraine.
North Korea has denied supplying the Kremlin with ballistic missiles and artillery shells following Kim Yong Un’s meeting with Vladimir Putin last year.
In June, Putin made a bizarre trip to Pyongyang where the two dictators looked like old pals in a car ride together.
Kim has even pledged to send 15,000 tunnellers to Ukraine to dig a Hamas-style underground front.
Russia is using ‘dark’ ships with their GPS turned off so they can’t be tracked to ship some of the containers.
And Putin is also protecting his pal at the UN by vetoing bodies supposed to enforce the sanctions against North Korea.
Bizarre moment Putin takes Kim Jong Un for a spin in new £350k bulletproof limo as despots’ bromance goes into overdrive
By Georgie English
THIS is the bizarre moment Vladimir Putin and his new best pal Kim Jong-un went for a spin in a £350,000 bulletproof limousine.
The pair of despots were seen hopping in the luxury Aurus after Putin, 71, gifted the pricey motor to the Supreme Leader as part of his historic trip to North Korea.
The tyrant twins have struck up a chilling friendship in recent years with Putin’s visit sending the bromance into overdrive.
Fascinating footage shows Putin stepping into the driving seat of the Aurus as Kim, 40, jumps into the passenger seat.
The car is surrounded by a huge number of security but when the doors close the pair are surprisingly left alone in the motor.
The feared twosome then went on a chilled ride around the lavish grounds of a guest house in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang with next to no protection with them.
The two are said to share “pent-up inmost thoughts” on their car rides together, North Korean state media said.
Footage captured the two smiling and driving together like in an episode of carpool karaoke.
Putin also handed Kim an admiral’s dagger and a tea set.
Such elaborate gifts are all but guaranteed to be a violation of Moscow-backed United Nations Security Council sanctions against Pyongyang.
Along the journey the two switched seats as Kim got behind the wheel following crunch summit talks between the two tyrants.
Kim rolled out the red carpet for his “Axis of Evil” ally as the tyrants vow to forge a “New World Order” in June.
