Russia, realizing the defeat, is trying to enlist the support of rogue states. Thus, besides Iran, the Kremlin is studying the possibility of agreements with North Korea.
Such actions by Russia in the US State Department are assessed as desperation. However, they caution that this does not make Russia less dangerous.
State Department spokesman Ned Price noted during a briefing that the Russians have asked Iran to provide goods that they themselves cannot produce or buy.
This is partly a reflection of the export controls, sanctions, economic measures that we have imposed on Russia,” said Ned Price.
The State Department spokesman explained that Russia does not have the ability to produce the key resources it needs – which is why Moscow is turning to Iran. In addition to Iran, they are also “studying agreements” with the DPRK.

- Earlier, the DPRK officially stated that they had never supplied weapons or ammunition to Russia and did not plan to do so.
- They denied the US assumption about a possible agreement on the supply of weapons to Russia.
