There is a Unpredictable twist in Ukraine War News, Start with a high-level stakes meeting that could take place this month between North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un and Russia’s president of Vladimir Putin This could well impact the war in Ukraine according to U.S officials. Kim Jong-un is expected to make a rare visit overseas and discuss the possibility of North Korea providing Moscow with weapons to support its war in Ukraine. The exact location of the planned meeting is not yet clear in a statement U.S. national security officials say that arms negotiations between Russia and North Korea are actively advancing ,that this deal was being worked on by Russia and North Korea it followed a visit to North Korea by the Russian defense minister and so now in the last few hours we have confirmation from officials in Washington that it is believed that Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin will meet at some point a place to be decided it seems or at least revealed in Russia over the next few weeks.
A very high-stakes meeting they have met before 2019 was the last time in Russia but clearly, the situation is different now. We know that Russia needs more artillery ammunition With very few friends around the world it is perhaps telling that they are turning to a pariah State like North Korea it seems Source this Weaponry that they crucially need to pursue the war in Ukraine it wouldn’t be one-sided though what we understand and this is being reported by the New York Times is that this would come as a price and the price from North Korea would be advanced technology from Russia to help it Advance its nuclear program and also possibly food supplies for North Korea.
It’s a very impoverished country with a lot of starvation across that nation and Food Supplies could be part of this potential deal .basics money and food and then looking at Advanced Weaponry but whatever is discussed whatever is going on in terms of a new transactional relationship it raises a lot of concerns doesn’t it and that’s the concern apart from the immediate impact of course on the war in Ukraine. But going forward if this is a relationship that is in perhaps the early stages of being developed at a defense level perhaps involving nuclear equipment that is of a concern a much broader concern and also from the United States perspective part of the policy of the US and its allies has been to isolate Russia to isolate Russia diplomatically especially. But in many practical senses as well around the world and this will be a in that that it wouldn’t be the isolation that the United States especially wants to see if Russia has found a way to get the Weaponry that it requires.
Nina Chrischeva who’s professor of international Affairs at the new school in New York City now Nina is also the great-granddaughter of former premier of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev and from Moscow she gave her take on the possibility of these two leaders meeting soon well there is a possibility that it’s been discussed and was mentioned the defense minister Sergey shoigu went to pinyan in July. It’s important to remember that Russian actions in many ways are reciprocals so when the president of South Korea went to Kiev also in July then shoigu immediately went to North Korea and I think the South Koreans were quite taken by that because they thought that they have a reasonably good relationship with the Russians. Putin has turned to North Korea because he is running out of ammunition. I do not think this portrayal of Putin is very accurate. However, the meeting is important. Russia is currently isolated, but that does not mean they are ‘fully’ isolated. The United States was aiming for Russia to be isolated, but it hasn’t been fully accomplished yet. If Putin visits North Korea, it will show his defiance of sanctions.
It’s more of more of an image that he is kind of catering or he’s putting under his wing all this wrong by the west but it’s certainly the in terms of technology and food in other ways I think it’s more important to North Korea and for Russia, it’s more of an image that really how much ammunition North Korea can supply it. It’s an open question as well an international leader that raises a lot of fear in the West that many don’t know a lot about this is President Putin having meetings with Kim Jong-un if they do go ahead and where that relationship could lead is bound to raise a lot of alarm bells in the West in particular in the U.S absolutely and that ‘s a very important question. But the reason it slightly kind of American attitude it’s like slightly hysterical because before Putin became the full and and fun terrible of the Western World it was Kim Jong-un and so now the two bad boys of International politics is meeting andย talk about it slightly higher tones but if the relationship does happen and we’re there yet to discuss it because Kim Jong Un is very careful it’s more of an imagery than than much else but if push comes to Chev, Putin will have no qualms to help and I think that’s one of the reasons the meeting kind of public and I mean the prepare preparation may be so public is that to kind of it’s a spook factor is that what Russians can do to Aid Kim jong-un’s nuclear program and so in this sense it was for on the Russian side for sure is to say well we’re treated this way but we can really be kind of a splinter in in global an even greater Splinter and I think that’s the fear that that we should really pursue professor of international Affairs at the new school in New York City.
