Kim Jong-un’s famous running bodyguards frantically polish his armoured train as he arrives in Russia for crunch talks with Vladimir Putin
The troupe of nervous bodyguards became a overnight sensation last year when they were first filmed jogging alongside Kim's limo as it drove through the streets of Singapore
THIS is the moment Kim Jong-un's terrified bodyguards don white gloves and furiously polish his train while it is rolling into a train station in Russia.
The dictator also had a red carpet rolled out along the platform by the lackeys famously filmed jogging alongside his limo at the Singapore and Vietnam summits.
Kim arrived in the Russian city of Vladivostok today for a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin aimed at mustering international support while nuclear talks with Washington are in limbo.
The armoured train carrying Kim - on his first official visit to Russia - pulled into the station on the quayside in Vladivostok, on the Pacific Ocean, a few hours after crossing from North Korea into Russia.
Earlier, at a stopover on the border, Kim told Russian state television he was hoping for useful and successful discussions with Putin.
He said: "I hope that we can discuss concrete questions about peace negotiations on the Korean peninsula, and our bilateral relations."
Kim will sit down for talks with Putin tomorrow at a university campus on an island just off Vladivostok, the first ever summit between the two leaders, with the standoff over Pyongyang's nuclear programme topping the agenda.
The meeting comes two months after a summit in Vietnam between Kim and US President Donald Trump ended in failure, leaving the North Korean leader to look elsewhere to seek international support and relief from sanctions.
For Putin, the summit is an opportunity to show that his country remains a major global player despite being under sanctions over its intervention in Ukraine and allegations that it meddled in US elections.
But analysts predicted that Kim is unlikely to emerge from the summit with any substantial promises of relief from sanctions.
The summit is likely to focus more on demonstrating camaraderie.
