The closest partners of the Russian Federation are North Korea, Iran, Syria and, to a certain extent, China. This speaks volumes about where Russia finds itself on the world stage.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is trying to build a coalition with other countries such as North Korea, Iran, Syria and, to a certain extent, China, but this will not help him in dealing with the entire democratic world, which continues to provide strong support for Ukraine. Michael Carpenter, senior director for Europe at the White House National Security Council, said this on Wednesday, June 19, Ukrinform reports.
It was noted that Carpenter commented on Putin’s visit to North Korea in this way.
“Regarding the meeting between Putin and Kim Jong-in in Pyongyang and all the pomp and pageantry that reflects the totalitarian nature of the regime in the DPRK, we are clearly talking about expanding the partnership,” said an administration official. US.
At the same time, he said, it indicates where Russia finds itself on the world stage.
“Its closest partners in the world are North Korea, Iran, Syria, and also, to a certain extent, China, which, although it does not supply weapons to Russia, sends a lot of bilateral products the use for the production of advanced weapons systems ,” Carpenter said.
He clarified that we are talking, in particular, about nitrocellulose for the production of gunpowder, optics, and machine tools for the Russian military-industrial complex. And this, he said, worsens the threat to Ukraine, as well as to the security of Europe.
“This is, in a broad sense, the coalition put together by Russia. But compare it to the coalition of 50 countries in the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, and then to the approximately 100 countries that supported the principles of the UN Charter in Switzerland, and you see a clear contrast.” – summed up the representative of the White House National Security Council.
Let’s recall that on Wednesday Putin agreed to a “strategic partnership” with the DPRK. Kim Jong-un has expressed full support for Russia’s war on Ukraine. After North Korea, Putin came to Vietnam.
