Cooperation between North Korea and Russia is expected to deepen, with Putin possibly visiting Pyongyang in the coming months.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is ready to start a war with the South, but Pyongyang is now trying to make more money. Bloomberg wrote this on Thursday, January 25.
As the publication points out, the leader of North Korea has good reason not to ignite the conflict, although he has openly threatened South Korea with war, because the DPRK’s economic growth rate has reached the highest level its for almost decades because of the sale. of arms to Russia.
“Since October, North Korea has sold Russia more than 2 million artillery shells and several ballistic missiles. The cost of the transferred missiles may reach several million dollars each, and Russia is likely to purchase the launchers for them from Pyongyang. Thus, the amount of equipment sold to the DPRK could reach billions of dollars, and the country’s economy, combined with increased trade with China, could grow by 0.5% in the year this,” the publication’s analysts note.
Bloomberg writes that Pyongyang’s sale of ballistic missiles, artillery shells and other military equipment to support the Kremlin’s aggression is providing a boost to North Korea’s economy, which has long been isolated by international sanctions.
“This could allow Kim to avoid engagement with the West for years to come, and it also reduces pressure on the 40-year-old leader to take more drastic measures, such as war,” wrote Bloomberg.
Cooperation between North Korea and Russia is expected to deepen, with Putin possibly visiting Pyongyang in the coming months.
Let’s recall that the United States previously warned that the use of nuclear weapons by the DPRK would lead to the “end of the regime” of Kim Jong-un.
