TL;DR Summary

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has arrived in Russia for talks with President Vladimir Putin, with discussions expected to cover trade, cultural exchanges, and undisclosed "sensitive spheres." The talks are likely to involve weapons and ammunition deals, which Russia needs for its stalled invasion of Ukraine. No press briefings are planned, and Russia is ready to discuss U.N. Security Council sanctions against North Korea. Meanwhile, Ukraine successfully struck a Russian drone base, President Zelenskyy vetoed a bill on asset transparency, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren is calling for an investigation into Elon Musk's blocking of Ukraine's access to SpaceX's Starlink internet services. In Russia, the Putin-backed United Russia party won legislative supermajorities in regions illegally annexed by Russia, prompting dismissal and condemnation from Ukraine and Western countries.
