Putin's limousine gift to Kim Jong Un: A symbol of deepening Russia-North Korea ties

The luxurious, armored limousine Aurus Senat has officially joined Kim Jong Un's fleet. Pyongyang claims it was a present from Vladimir Putin himself.

The warm ties between Russia and North Korea were further cemented with a lavish gift for Kim Jong Un. The present is the Russian limousine Aurus Senat, bestowed upon the regime's leader by Vladimir Putin.

The sister of the North Korean leader Kim Yo Jong highlighted in a statement that "the use of a private car sent as a gift by President Putin is clear evidence of the friendship between North Korea and Russia, which is continuously developing." "The limousine's special features are outstanding, and it is entirely reliable" - reports "Polsat News".

UN experts have pointed out that Putin's gift breaches UN resolutions, aimed at curbing North Korea's nuclear weapons development. These resolutions include a prohibition on sending luxury goods to Pyongyang, and the Aurus Senat is undeniably a luxury item.
