Russia and The DPRK is under sanctions/Collage 24 Channel

Sanctions against Russia are far from comprehensive, but even the aggressor country has learned to circumvent them. The situation is the same in the DPRK, where the import of almost everything except food products is prohibited.

Despite Western bans, both countries find ways to obtain sanctioned goods. About this24 Channelsaid political scientist Vladimir Fesenko, adding that the only source of trade for North Korea with the other world is China.

How the West can influence Russia and the DPRK

< p>In North Korea, the possibilities of influence are quite limited, because the country has been under sanctions for a very long time. However, even during the reign of Kim Jong-in's father, there were many reports of Western alcohol, cheeses and other products being brought to the DPRK. They all went through China.

Russia is quickly following the same path, but it still has India, Turkey and some other countries that actively trade with it and through them the sanctioned goods arrive, the political scientist said.

Export controls should be strengthened

Russia has adapted to the sanctions and found ways to circumvent them. Therefore, the first and determining way of economic pressure on Russia is to strengthen export controls, because, unfortunately, they do not work enough.

Export controls over companies, suppliers and countries should be strengthened. helping Russia circumvent sanctions. It is necessary to build an actual new system for strengthening export controls, because there is no other option, because they talk about a security threat not only for Ukraine, but also for the United States. – Fesenko emphasized.

Putin and Kim Jong-un are in a difficult situation

Even propaganda commentators today bitterly admit that if Russia is looking for friends among the most odious dictators in the world, then something is going wrong in the empire. According to the political scientist, the sanctions will not have a 100% effect, but there is still a certain impact. North Korea is once again on the brink of famine, so, in all likelihood, the supply of food products is one of the agreements between the two dictators.

They save on the lives and health of their citizens, but at the same time they want more modern weapons. They want to go into space, but not for peaceful purposes, but to receive intelligence information and use it as a threat to their neighbors, Fesenko emphasized.

The meeting between Putin and Kim Jong-un is a diagnosis for both regimes that are in a difficult situation, but they want to help each other and with their cooperation they are trying to blackmail the civilized world.
