According to the White House, during the meeting of the two dictators, negotiations on a possible supply of weapons will continue.
– As we warned, it is expected that Arms negotiations between Russia and the DPRK will continue during Kim Jong-un’s visit to the Russian Federation. We call on the DPRK to adhere to the public commitments that Pyongyang has made not to supply or sell weapons to Russia, — stressed US National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson.
Last week, the United States warned that Kim Jong-un was going to visit Russia to discuss a potential arms agreement.
US Presidential National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan noted that discussions between Moscow and Pyongyang are “actively advancing.” He also warned that the DPRK would “pay a price” if it provides the Russian Federation with weapons for the war against Ukraine.
There were suggestions that Pyongyang could offer Moscow ammunition, multiple launch rocket systems and small ballistic missiles range. And Russia can provide grain, oil and highly sensitive military technologies.
As you know, North Korea is under UN and US sanctions due to Pyongyang’s program to create weapons of mass destruction: ballistic missiles capable of carrying a nuclear charge.< /p>
