The UN will not be able to punish Russia if the Kremlin receives weapons from North Korea - expert

According to Analytics Simon Veseman, the West can send more weapons to Ukraine to respond to cooperation with the DPRK. However, he said, Russia will not exclude from the UN. The UN will not be able to punish the Russian Federation if it begins to import weapons from North Korea for war against Ukraine. This was stated by Senior Researcher of the Stockholm International Institute for Peace Problems Simon Veseman, Newsweek.

According to him, the chances of exclusion of Russia from the UN - or even from the Security Council - are very small. "There is an opportunity to impose additional sanctions, and some states want to impose sanctions if Russia is clearly ignored by the UN sanctions on North Korea," he said. However, according to Veseman, the West can send more weapons to Ukraine to respond to cooperation with the DPRK.

The expert also noted that according to resolution 2270 of the UN, any export and import from the DPRK items that increase the operational capabilities of the Armed Forces are prohibited. This applies not only to military equipment, but even bulletproof vests and helmets. "The additional text in 2270 emphasizes that the only exception would be purely humanitarian aid, and only when the UN Committee, which is watching Korean sanctions, will be informed in advance," Veseman said.

It should be noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin hid the details of Kim Jong -in's visit to the Russian Federation, so as not to strengthen the sanctions. According to ISW analysts, Russia has fears of imposing additional international sanctions against the country through potential trade with North Korea. Recall that the media reported that Kim Jong -in and Putin's meeting showed how much they needed each other. Experts believe that Vladimir Putin is very serious about Kim Jong.
