The head of Russia’s Foreign Ministry, Sergei Lavrov, thanked North Korea for its “fundamental, unequivocal support.”
Sergei Lavrov arrived in North Korea for a two-day visit. Russia’s foreign minister said Moscow “highly appreciates North Korea’s substantial, unequivocal support for Russia’s actions in Ukraine.”
Lavrov emphasized that his visit is an opportunity to discuss the implementation of the agreements signed by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in September this year during a meeting at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia Far East. According to Sergei Lavrov, military ties between Russia and North Korea have deepened.
Cooperation between Russia and North Korea. The US warns
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says deepening cooperation between Russia and North Korea is becoming increasingly dangerous. The politician noted that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s recent visit to Russia was a demonstration of “threats to broader security” from Pyongyang. He also noted that Russia is “desperately seeking equipment, supplies and technology for its continued aggression against Ukraine,” while North Korea “seeks assistance to strengthen and improve its own missile programs.”
Antony Blinken noted that the United States views Russian cooperation with North Korea as a “two-way street that is increasingly dangerous.” – We are working hand in hand with other partners and allies to highlight the threats posed by military cooperation between Russia and North Korea, which threaten world peace and security, he added. The G7 countries fear that Russia is negotiating with North Korea for arms supplies in exchange for technology for the production of ballistic missiles. The White House recently indicated that North Korean arms shipments to Russia could be larger and more regular.
