U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday that Russia is seeking to expand space cooperation with North Korea in exchange for sending troops to help Moscow fight Ukraine.
The [Corée du Nord] already benefits from Russian military equipment and training. Today we have reason to believe that Moscow intends to share advanced space and satellite technologies with Pyongyang
declared the head of American diplomacy during a press conference in Seoul.
Like the American ambassador toHIM Linda Thomas-Greenfield in December, Antony Blinken also affirmed that, according to the United States, Russia may be about to
to formally recognize the status of North Korea as a nuclear power.
The head of American diplomacy is in South Korea on Monday as part of a farewell tour which will also take him to Japan, France and Italy.
On Monday morning, even while Mr. Blinken was in Seoul, Pyongyang fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile – its first missile launch of the year.
