Zelensky: Putin’s visit to the DPRK is a plug in Xi Jinping’s eye

With the agreements with the DPRK, Putin is risking contact with China, this is a good sign, the president said.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin flew to North Korea due to political isolation and a lack of artillery shells. This visit has become a “plug in the eye” for Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said this in an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Trudy Rubin.

Answering the question of whether China wants to “throw a fork in America’s eyes” through indirect support for Russia, Zelensky said: “Putin’s meeting with the DPRK is a fork in Xi Jinping’s eyes that Putin is still afraid of China, but he has lost hope.”

According to the president, more than 100 participants in the Peace Summit and a lack of artillery forced Putin to look for allies such as the DPRK.

“He (Putin – ed.) risks contact with China because of the lack of shells And this is a good sign for our soldiers – not everyone is very good on the battlefield in Russia,” said the head of state.

According to him, Pyongyang has about 5 million artillery shells in its stockpile, but even this number is less than what the Russian army used in Ukraine last year.

“This suggests that they cannot give him everything, because they need supplies, but there is also an understanding for all partners not to talk about a long war, because he does not have the strength to Ukraine” But he has the desire, but he doesn’t have the strength,” added Zelensky.

Let’s recall that on June 18, Putin visited the DPRK for the first time in 24 years, where he signed a strategic partnership agreement with Kim Jong-un. It provides mutual aid “in the event of an attack against one of the participants.”
