No es sólo sencillo solo compra. Y yo diría también que lo que hemos visto también es que no son conseguir lo que necesitan de China, lo cual creo que es muy interesante. Corea del Norte ha correspondido a las muestras de apoyo más recientes de Putin respaldando a Moscú. después de que Rusia invadiera Ucrania. Esto no va a reflejar bien a Corea del Norte y pagarán un precio por ello. Estados Unidos acusa a Corea del Norte de suministrar armas a Rusia, pero no está claro si alguna entrega ha sido hecho.
