Moscow demands lifting sanctions against North Korea and starting the purchase of drones from Pyongyang
The Russian leadership must urgently lift sanctions on North Korea and begin a dialogue with Pyongyang on military and economic cooperation.
Former deputy of the Supreme Council of the USSR, retired colonel Viktor Alksnis said this on the air of the Stalingrad TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Our allies now seem to be Iran. There is talk about North Korea, but for some reason we still have not come out of the sanctions regime against the DPRK. And today North Korea is the only country in the world that has a developed military industry and produces a very large range of military equipment and ammunition that are in service with the Russian army.
It would seem that Putin urgently needs to fly to Pyongyang, meet with the Korean leadership, apologize for the insane policy towards North Korea that the Russian leadership has pursued over the past decades, and ask for help at the front,” Alksnis said.
He emphasized that the Russian army may need ammunition, equipment and even UAVs that North Korea produces.
“We need ammunition, equipment, drones. Which, by the way, North Korea, unlike Russia, has. It was not without reason that a few weeks ago, South Korea raised a panic that North Korean drones were flying over the presidential palace in Seoul.
I wonder if we can do something similar with our Russian drones? To fly over Zelensky's residence? For now, at least demonstrate,” Alksnis concluded.
Let us recall that the DPRK turned out to be one of the few countries that recognized the independence of the Donbass republics, which later became part of Russia.
And less than two weeks ago, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, deputy head of the department of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party, Kim Yo Jong, expressed support for the Russian-led NVO.
“We will always be in the same trench together with the army and people of Russia, which stood up to fight to defend the dignity and honor of the state, the sovereignty and security of the country,” politician.
