NATO worried Russia may support North Korea’s missile and nuclear programmes

He added that the group’s partnerships with Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Japan may increase as a result of China’s aid for Russia’s war business and its support for its own business.

Stoltenberg said it needed to be” outcomes” at some level for China.

They may continue to trade freely with other European nations while simultaneously provoking the biggest battle to date since the Second World War, he said.

Stoltenberg said it was too first to predict the consequences,” but it has to be an issue that we need to target because to continue as we do now is unfeasible.”

Secretary Blinken cited Putin’s attend to North Korea as a mark of his “desperation” to bolster his support for his conflict in Ukraine.

Blinken added that China’s support had allowed Russia to maintain its defense-industrial base, which supplied 90 % of the nanotechnology and 70 % of the machine tools it imports. ” That has to stop”, he said.
