The Russian leader has invited the president of South Korea to Russia to discuss the growing nuclear threat posed by the secretive nation.

North Korea has been diving towards nuclear devastation for the past month as Pyongyang declared open war against the United States and the rotund menace test fired more missiles towards Japan.

The South Korean president's office confirmed the duo will be discussing the north's nuclear programme.

While North Korea and Russia have been pals in the past, earlier this year the Kremlin said they were "extremely worried" by Kim's nuclear weapons.

Putin has said the cherub-faced villain's aggressive posturing could be grounds for an invasion – warning his former friend not to provoke the world's wrath.

In March, the Kremlin said in a statement: "Pyongyang should be aware of the fact that in this way North Korea will become fully opposed to the international community and will create international legal grounds for using military force against itself in accordance with the right of a state to self-defense enshrined in the United Nations Charter."

The Kremlin kingpin is expected to raise the issue of increased American mobilisation into the Korean peninsula.

America deployed its nuclear shield defence system to the region as tensions escalated and mobilised squadrons of their best bombers to nearby airbases in Guam.

Russia claim the hi-tech system will tip the delicate balance of power in north east Asia, but Washington assured the weapons would only be used in response to North Korean aggression.

The leaders "plan to discuss the condition and prospects of developing bilateral relations, including matters of cooperation in political, trade and economic, and cultural and humanitarian spheres," the Kremlin said.

The Russian government spokesman added special attention "will be paid to pressing international and regional problems".

Other issues on the table for Vlad and South Korean leader include energy policy and gas exports.

Atlantic Council Russian analyst Agnia Grigas expects the pair to discuss a Russia to South Korea pacific gas pipeline – a project currently prevented by North Korea's war threats, Newsweek reports.

Russia sits alongside South Korea, Japan, China and the United States on a committee working to end North Korea's nuclear programme.

The beggar kingdom walked away from negotiations in 2009 and has since them been shamelessly ramping up their nuke production.

Kim's man in Europe warned the war-hungry nation has an arsenal ready to fly within ten minutes.

But despite Kim's ambitions for World War 3, he is also turning his eyes to the moon as North Korea announced an ambitious plan to conquer space.
