Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui for talks in the Kremlin Tuesday evening amid international concerns over an alleged arms cooperation deal between Pyongyang and Moscow.

Earlier on Tuesday, Choe met her Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov who praised cooperation between the two countries. The United States and South Korea have accused North Korea of providing artillery munitions and missiles for Russia to use in Ukraine.

Earlier this month, U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that Russia already had used ballistic missiles provided by North Korea to strike Ukraine. Both Russia and North Korea have dismissed accusations of North Korean arms transfers to Russia.
