"Putin Gifts Car to Kim Jong Un, Says KCNA"

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un received a car from Russian President Vladimir Putin as a personal gift, potentially violating U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang. The gift, a Russian-made car, was delivered to Kim's aides on Feb. 18, and was seen as a demonstration of the close personal relations between the two leaders. This exchange comes as the two countries have strengthened ties amid their international isolation, with North Korea reportedly supplying artillery and missiles to Russia for use in the war against Ukraine.
