Xi Jinping can stop the DPRK: why Putin went to Pyongyang Dzvenislava Moshovskaya Vladimir Putin arrived on June 18 to North Korea. Kim Jong-un personally met the Kremlin dictator. It is known that the DPRK supplied Russia with weapons, and now Putin’s official order on a strategic partnership with this country has appeared. Political strategist Mikhail Sheitelman told 24 Channel that the DPRK sent Russia 5 million artillery shells in less than a year for the war against Ukraine. He added that this is 500 thousand shells per month and 17 thousand per day.Why Putin went to North Korea< /h2>
Mikhail Sheitelman noted that Russia uses North Korean artillery shells on the battlefield against Ukraine.
90% of the success or defeat of the Russian army today depends on North Korea. “Putin went there to negotiate new shells, and perhaps also to get North Korean soldiers to send them to the front in Ukraine,” he said.
Relations between China and the DPRK
According to a political strategist, the Chinese leadership is behind the establishment of close cooperation between Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un.
North Korea has been a colony of China since the Korean War. The 5 million shells that North Korea supplies to Russia are Chinese or old Soviet, which Beijing exchanges for new ones. There is no doubt that China makes all the decisions,” Sheitelman suggested.
Will North Korea give Russia its soldiers
It is unknown whether Kim Jong-un will decide to send his troops in support of Russia, because according to the political strategist, he needs to assess Putin’s chances of winning this war.
“I don’t know what Kim Jong-un sees as Russia’s chances of victory, but he is definitely not an adequate person, because in recent years he has had a lot of plastic surgery to look like Kim Il-sung ( former president of North Korea – Channel 24),” he emphasized.
Xi Jinping, having certain ties with the DPRK, can influence Kim Jong-un’s decision .
The Chinese president is a balanced leader, but he is not a friend to us (Ukraine – Channel 24). He has other interests, but you can talk to Xi Jinping rationally, so he can stop the DPRK,” said Mikhail Sheitelman.
