Russia is going all-in: what North Korea might demand from Putin in exchange for help

Russia is going for broke: what the DPRK might demand from Putin in exchange for aid Petro Sineoky

Dictators Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un signed a “strategic partnership” agreement. It is clear that Russia needs weapons. The DPRK will also want “gifts” from Putin.

About this 24 Channel said Alexander Kovalenko, a military-political observer of the Information Resistance group, noting that North Korea is also interested in Putin’s visit.

What does the DPRK want

As Kovalenko noted, there is no doubt that the DPRK needs nuclear and missile technologies. They want to get from Russia what they don’t have yet.

North Korea was able to produce its own armored combat vehicles under sanctions. It is clear that many technologies there date back to the last century. And they need to do something about it.

They depend on many technologies of the past. And they need to somehow update all this. This is precisely why they need Russia,” said Kovalenko.

The most interesting thing is that China will not agree to this. If the West suspects that Beijing will provide military assistance to the DPRK, then sanctions will immediately follow. It may seem that this is not a big deal for China. But in fact, they are really afraid of this.

The Chinese economy is very dependent on the sanctions policies of the West. If there are restrictions on the export capabilities of the Chinese economy and a reorientation towards India, China does not need this. Therefore, they will behave carefully. This is how they behave towards the DPRK. But Russia is going all-in. She has nothing to lose, so she can do it,” Kovalenko explained.

Putin’s visit to the DPRK: briefly

• June 19, Putin signed an agreement on a “comprehensive strategic partnership” with Kim Jong-un. It is known that this document provides for “providing assistance in case of aggression against one of the participants.”
• According to media reports, the DPRK promised Russia full support in the war against Ukraine. They announced increased cooperation.
• The Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council noted that Putin is looking for any opportunities to continue waging war. All his statements about “peace” are lies. This is evidenced by his visit to the DPRK.
