North Korea sanctions
Russia: “It can’t go on like this forever”
In light of his new strategic partnership with the regime in Pyongyang, Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin apparently wants to soften the international sanctions against North Korea.
Russia's UN ambassador Vasily Nebenzia said on Monday: "We think it is simply unfair and discouraging to impose endless sanctions on the country." Consideration must be given to how these punitive measures could be changed. Because, according to Nebensja, "it can't go on like this forever".
Western states suspect Moscow of passing on technology to Pyongyang despite the sanctions - in exchange for artillery ammunition and missiles, which it is using for destruction in its war of aggression against Ukraine.
Russian precision weapons to North Korea?
At the end of March, Russia had already used its veto power in the UN Security Council in New York to withdraw the mandate of a committee of experts to monitor North Korea with regard to the punitive measures. With a view to Western arms deliveries to Ukraine, Russia's president also recently threatened to deliver precision weapons to North Korea.
North Korea, ruled by ruler Kim, is subject to far-reaching UN sanctions and import bans due to its nuclear weapons program, including the trade in weapons and the transfer of military technologies to the country. During a state visit to Pyongyang, Putin signed a new partnership agreement with Kim, which also provides for mutual assistance in the event of war.
New tactical missile tested?
Missile tests are also actually prohibited, but are tested time and again. This was also the case on Monday, when South Korean authorities registered the launch of two ballistic missiles from North Korea. On Tuesday, the North Korean state news agency KCNA claimed that, among other things, a new tactical missile capable of carrying a 4.5-ton super warhead had been tested.
