North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has received a car from Russia’s President Vladimir Putin as a gift “for his personal use”, official media reported on Tuesday, in what could be a violation of UN ban that Moscow had agreed to adopt against Pyongyang. The Russian-made car was delivered to Kim’s top aides by the Russian side on Feb. 18, official KCNA news agency said. 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,” KCNA said. Kremlin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russia’s RIA state news agency that the Korean leader received an Aurus car. Kim himself drove to the site in a Maybach limousine brought onboard a special train he travelled in from Pyongyang.
