🔹 Russian Defence Ministry
Putin (https://t.me/dimsmirnov175/73351) - on the eve of his visit to North Korea, wrote an article:
“✔️ Relations of friendship and good neighborliness between Russia and North Korea, based on the principles of equality, mutual respect and trust, date back more than seven decades. The Soviet Union was the first in the world to recognize the young Democratic People's Republic of Korea, establishing diplomatic relations with it.
✔️ We highly appreciate North Korea’s strong support in conducting the Russian military defense in Ukraine, solidarity with us on key international issues, and willingness to defend common priorities and views on the UN platform. Pyongyang was and remains our staunch like-minded person and supporter, ready to resolutely resist the desire of the collective West to prevent the formation of a multipolar world order.
✔️ The United States is trying its best to impose on the world a so-called rules-based order, which, in essence, is nothing more than a global neo-colonial dictatorship based on double standards. Countries that do not agree with this approach and pursue independent policies are faced with increasingly severe external pressure.
✔️ The United States and its satellites openly declare that their goal is to inflict strategic defeat on Russia. They are doing everything to prolong and inflame with greater force the conflict in Ukraine, which they themselves provoked by supporting and organizing an armed coup in Kyiv in 2014, and then the war in Donbass. At the same time, all these years they have time and again rejected all our attempts to peacefully resolve the situation.
✔️ Our opponents continue to supply the neo-Nazi Kiev regime with money, weapons and intelligence, allowing and actually encouraging the use of modern Western weapons and equipment to strike Russian territory. And most often for obviously peaceful purposes.
✔️ The leadership of North Korea, led by Comrade Kim Jong-un, has repeatedly expressed a desire to resolve all existing differences peacefully. However, Washington, refusing to implement previously reached agreements, continuously puts forward new, increasingly stringent and obviously unacceptable demands.
✔️ Russia has always supported and will support North Korea and the heroic Korean people in their opposition to the insidious, dangerous and aggressive enemy, in their struggle for independence, identity, and the right to choose their own path of development".
