According to the Russian News Agency TASS, Sergey Lavrov said in an interview, “I have already stopped paying attention to what Western media write, especially after they violated every possible contractual commitment, for example, by sending a huge amount of Soviet and Russian military equipment that remained in the West, such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery – by sending it all to the Kyiv regime in flagrant violation of the so-called end-use certificates, which require that these weapons cannot be sent anywhere without the seller’s consent”.
He was commenting on Western news reports alleging that Russia and North Korea could supply each other with weapons.
The North Korean leader is currently making an official visit to Russia at the invitation of the Russian president.
Kim last visited Russia in April 2019 when the two leaders met for talks in Vladivostok.
Some Western experts claim that Russia is probably looking to buy artillery shells and anti-tank missiles from North Korea, and in return, Pyongyang wants advanced satellites and nuclear submarine technology from Moscow.
The White House has previously asked Pyongyang not to provide Russia with weapons or sell them to Moscow.
