According to Sergei Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, Moscow has” completely supported” Korea’s Northn leader Kim Jong Un.
Mr. Lavrov expressed gratitude to Korea’s North for its assistance in Ukraine while on an established visit there.
His continued journey prepares the way for President Vladimir Putin to possibly travel to Korea’s North.
The US claimed last week that Korea’s North had started sending Russia sizable amounts of weapons for use in Ukraine.
The defense secretary of Russia even traveled to Korea’s North earlier in July and was shown the nation’s newest weapons, including the Hwasong international ballistic missile.
Mr. Lavrov pledged Moscow’s” full help” for President Kim and accused the US and its supporters of starting a” war against the Soviet league” at an official receipt on Wednesday.
He did not go into further detail, but added that he was there to talk about putting the plans into action that were made when Mr. Putin and Kim met next quarter.
However, Washington had forewarned that Pyongyang was purchasing arms for Moscow’s conflict with Ukraine and that any North assistance would be against UN commitments.
Earlier in September, 300 vessels were reportedly transported from the Korea’s Northn harbor of Nanjin to Dunay on Russia’s west coast before being moved to a military storage facility close to the Ukrainian border in Tikhoretsk.
Due to its ongoing fight with the South, Korea’s North has a sizable arsenal. Theoretically, the two nations are still at war.
According to some experts, Mr. Kim may have requested humanitarian assistance in September during the purported hands agreement with Russia. However, some believe Pyongyang might be hesitant to give away too many weapons given their relative dearth of resources.
Both Korea’s North and Russia have committed to strengthening ties with one another over the past six months as both nations have grown more and more isolated on the global level.
