The Kremlin readout of a call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday emphasized that the two men had discussed Putin’s upcoming talks in Alaska on Friday with President Donald Trump. Those talks will center on Trump’s push to see Putin accept an immediate, unconditional 30-day ceasefire. Ukraine pledged to accept that ceasefire months ago.
The Kim call readout is clear signaling from Moscow to Washington.
