The United States of America (USA) is concerned about any kind of potential defense cooperation between Russia and North Korea, said White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.

He told reporters that the US is closely monitoring contacts between Moscow and Pyongyang.

Kirby stated that no nation on the planet and no one should help Russian President Vladimir Putin "to kill innocent Ukrainians."

"And if they decide to move forward with some kind of arms deal, obviously we're going to weigh that and we're going to deal with it appropriately," Kirby said, according to Voice of America.

Putin met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at Russia's most advanced spaceport on Wednesday, amid warnings from the US and South Korea about a potential arms transfer.

Kim invited Putin to visit North Korea, which the Russian president accepted, North Korean state media reported.
