Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin gifted Kim Jong Un a luxury Russian limo made by Aurus after Kim showed keen interest in the vehicle during Putin’s visit last year.

On behalf of the Russian government, Aurus, an automaker based in Russia, presented the dictator of North Korea with a brand-new limousine. Aurus is best known for creating President Vladimir Putin’s new bulletproof limousine.

Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, received the limousine, as verified by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. He claimed that Kim was quite interested in the limo during Putin’s visit last year, and as a result, the car was a gift.

“When the head of the DPRK [North Korea] was at the Vostochny cosmodrome, he looked at this car, Putin showed it to him personally, and like many people, Kim liked this car,” Peskov said when asked by reporters about the gift, who The Guardian quoted. 

George Papadopoulos has tweeted a video showing supposed proof that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who passed away on Friday in a gulag, was working with the CIA.

“So this decision was made,” Peskov said, adding, “North Korea is our neighbor, our close neighbor, and we intend, and will continue, to develop our relations with all neighbors, including North Korea.” 

The arrival of the Russian-made limousine in Pyongyang was also verified by KCNA, the official news agency of North Korea.

According to KCNA, Kim’s sister “courteously conveyed Kim Jong-un’s thanks to Putin to the Russian side, saying that the gift serves as a clear demonstration of the special personal relations between the top leaders.”
