According to BBC, Kim Jong Un has accepted an invitation to visit Moscow. This will be his first trip overseas since taking over North Korea in 2011. Russian presidential spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov did not mention Kim Jong Un by name, so it is possible that Kim will send one (or a few) of his cronies.
The invitation was sent to celebrate the 70th anniversary of World War II,
What makes this interesting, is that Kim Jong Un is visiting Moscow before Beijing. His father's biggest ally was said to be China. Perhaps visiting Russia will show that Chinese and North Korean relationships are not exactly in-tact.
China has received pressure from South Korea and Japan for not putting enough pressure on North Korea's nuclear program. As recent as 2013, they also backed sanctions proposed by the UN.
Perhaps the two sociopaths (Putin and Un) will become best of friends. You never know.
