Russia shows its support to the North Korean nuclear program | International

Acted by the need for weapons and infantry, the Kremlin has embraced the dictatorship of North Korea as one of its main allies. Russian Foreign Minister Serguéi Lavrov has met this Saturday with Supreme North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, on an official visit to Pyongyang set with the aim of strengthening these ties. In return, the Surasian regime has managed to break – through Russia – the international isolation that led to its manufacture of weapons of mass destruction.

“We respect the actions of North Korea and understand the reasons why its nuclear program implements,” said Lavrov. “North Korea leaders reached timely conclusions long before the attacks of Israel and the United States against Iran, and, precisely, as these conclusions were taken on time, no one is considering using the force against North Korea.”

North Korean and Russian leaders signed a strategic association treaty in June last year. An agreement similar to the signed between Moscow and Tehran last January and that remained in a mere statement of intentions when Israel unleashed his attacks on the Ayatolás regime.

The North Korean-Ruso treaty includes a commitment to “mutual defense” in case of one of the signatory nations. This Saturday, Lavrov launched a warning to South Korea, Japan and the United States to reinforce before the North Korean regime.

The head of Russian diplomacy has defended that North Korean nuclear rearme is legitimate and product “of the activities of its scientists.” However, the pact signed by Vladimir Putin includes Russian support to the North Korean Balistic Missile and Nuclear Missile Program.

Unlike Pyongyang, the Kremlin used as one of its pretexts for the invasion of Ukraine its supposed intention to achieve the nuclear bomb. President Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, insisted days before the Russian offensive that his country had not initiated any nuclear program, but regretted that, due to the 1994 Budapest treaty, kyiv got rid of his Soviet nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees that he never protected it: neither in the 2014 Crimean annexation, nor in the total Russian offensive of 2022.

Luxury resort

After her meeting with North Korean Foreign Minister Choi Son-Hui, and with Kim Jong Un, Lavrov has assured that the sending of thousands of troops in front of Kursk left the Pyongyang herself. “We had no reason to reject this sincere sample of solidarity. We start from the fact that North Korea itself determines how our strategic association agreement implements,” said the Russian diplomat.

The North Korean supreme leader has received the Russian diplomat in a yacht anchored in the newly opened luxury resort Wonsan Kalma. The Surasian dictator inaugurated the complex on June 24, after a decade of works. According to Pyongyang, their hotels have a capacity for more than 20,000 people and will soon be connected by Ferri with the easternmost region in Russia. Lavrov showed his desire that this destiny becomes popular in the future among Russian tourists, who are practically closed part of Asia, Europe and America due to the sanctions applied by the invasion of Ukraine.
