Russian President Vladimir Putin presented North Korean leader Kim Jong-un with a Russian-made car, state media in Pyongyang announced on Tuesday. This gift is likely to constitute a violation of the sanctions imposed on Pyongyang by the United Nations in 2017, also signed by Russia, which target any importation of vehicles into North Korea.
The vehicle model was not specified in this publication. Mr. Kim is renowned for his taste in luxury cars. He has been spotted using Lexus SUVs and Mercedes-Benz S-class models.
