Russia and North Korea have been shown in recent years as two countries that maintain an excellent relationship: diplomatic visits of one and another delegation, exchange of information on security and military, and even sending North Korean troops to the front in Ukraine , have been some of the evidence of that good relationship between the leaders of both countries.
Obviously, it is a relationship of interests, and Pyongyang authorized the arrival of more than 10,000 North Korean soldiers to Ukraine to fight from the Russian side in exchange for Moscow to help and share technical assistance to develop combat drones and nuclear potential.
This has been the process by which both countries have improved their diplomatic and military relations. However, the Russian collaboration for the production of Drones A Korea was not very well seen by some common partners, such as China. Or to say for Western powers, such as the US, Japan or the EU.
In fact, international media, close to Russian news, have published several information in which they ensure that Russia is reluctant to continue with this collaboration with North Korea. The reason? That this collaboration can cool or tighten the situation between the US – presided by Trump – and North Korea, at a time when it seems that the war in Ukraine could be closer than ever to reach a truce.
In this sense, the Japanese medium NHK He said that “Moscow is concerned that factors such as nuclear tests that Pyongyang complicate the relations of North Korea with the United States as well as with neighboring countries, including China.”
For all this, the collaboration between Moscow and Pyongyang could enter a cooling phase, which could be left with the end of Russian assistance to North Korea and the withdrawal of the North Korean soldiers of the front in Kursk. However, this can be considered as mere theories, since reality is very complicated to know in two regimes that hardly show their letters to the rest of the world.
