Russia Considers Military Aid to North Korea Amid Rising Tensions

ai generated text

Russian President Vladimir Putin has hinted at the possibility of supplying weapons to North Korea in response to Western arms supplies to Ukraine. During his trip to Asia, Putin directly warned the US and its allies that Russia is willing to arm North Korea if they continue to provide sophisticated weapons to Kyiv. This warning comes as a mutual defense agreement between Russia and North Korea has been revived, which stipulates that if one country finds itself in a state of war, the other will come to its aid.

    2. Well, as I said, including in Pyongyang, then we reserve the right to supply weapons to other regions of the world.
    3. Those who send these (missiles to Ukraine), think that they are not fighting us, but I said, including in Pyongyang, that we then reserve the right to supply weapons to other regions of the world, with regard to our agreements with the DPRK.
    4. Regarding the possibility of somehow using each other's capabilities in the conflict in Ukraine, we are not asking anyone for this, no one has offered us this, therefore there is no need.
