Sullivan: Putin may not have decided yet what he will give the DPRK in exchange for its troops
Kyiv • UNN
The US National Security Advisor suggests that Putin has not yet decided what Russia will provide to the DPRK in exchange for its troops. Kim Jong-un can expect military and technological support, in particular for his nuclear program.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has not yet decided what exactly Russia will give to North Korea in exchange for the participation of its troops in a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in an interview with CBS News, UNN reports.
Details
According to Sullivan, the United States "doesn't know for sure" what Russia is giving North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in exchange for the military he sends to fight on the battlefield in Ukraine.
To be honest, I think Vladimir Putin doesn't know for sure. I think he probably hasn't decided what he's going to do for North Korea in the future,
Biden's adviser suggested that Kim Jong-un expects "something significant in return, perhaps in the form of military and technological support from Russia," possibly for North Korea's nuclear program.
I can't say exactly what will happen, but we have already heard the Russians say that North Korea's nuclear program should be looked at differently today than it was five or ten years ago. So the concern about the relationship between Russia and North Korea in both directions is very real, and it's something that all countries in the free world should pay attention to,
Recall
Ukraine's Defense Minister Rustem Umerov confirmedthat the first clashes between the Ukrainian Armed Forces and North Korean soldiers in Russia's Kursk region have already taken place, but so far they have been "small-scale.
