Russian President Vladimir Putin gifted a luxury car to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a Valentine's Week gesture, deepening ties between their regimes. The car, an Aurus Senat limousine, was delivered to Kim's aides and is a breach of U.N. sanctions on North Korea, which Moscow had agreed to adopt. Despite international sanctions, Kim is known to have a fleet of luxury cars and has expressed support for Russia's actions in Ukraine. North Korean weapons have reportedly been sent to Russia during its war, though both countries have denied these claims.
