1000 containers of armored vehicles and ammunition: Putin goes to China, Lavrov - to the DPRK

The purpose of the visit of the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry is not specified, but the trip will take place after the USA has appeared footage of containers with North Korean weapons, which is probably intended for Russia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Wednesday, October 18, will go to North Korea. It became known a few days after Washington stated that Pyongyang had put Russian ammunition and other military equipment, Sky News reports.

The Kremlin did not formally report the purpose of Lavrov in the DPRK and what purpose of the visit. However, last week, the administration of US President Joe Biden warned that more than 1000 containers with military equipment and ammunition were sent from the DPRK to the Russian Federation. The United States posted a photo of containers probably taken while loading on a ship under the Russian flag. The load was carried out between September 7 and October 1, noted in the White House.

In the US, it is believed that Pyongyang expects Russian weapons technologies for military assistance. This week, the Kremlin chairman Vladimir Putin is also expected to meet with China representatives. He is expected to go to China on October 16. Moscow and Beijing formed an unofficial anti -Western alliance. But the cooperation of the two countries indicates events in Israel.

China is looking for a balance between its relations with Israel and economic relations with Iran and Syria, which is actively supported by the Russian Federation. Putin's visit also demonstrates the support of Xi Jinping and the Way and Way policy: in many countries there are infrastructure projects of the PRC and thus expands Chinese global impact.

The Kremlin's head will be one of the most high -ranking guests at a meeting in Pyongyang, which is connected with the tenth anniversary of the "belt and path". Xi Jinping visited Moscow in March. China opposes international sanctions imposed against the Russian Federation, but the representatives of the Celestial did not speak publicly regarding the Putin arrest of the MCS prescribed by Putin's arrest due to the deportation of thousands of Ukrainian children.
