The real motive of dictator Kim Jong, who helped Russia in the Russia-Ukraine war, has come to light.
Since Putin’s last visit to North Korea, the friendship between Russia and North Korea had deepened.
Both the leaders were also seen walking together. However, now a report has claimed that in return for helping Russia in the war, North Korea wanted Russian crude oil in return.
In fact, North Korea is the only country in the world which is not allowed to buy oil from the open market.
According to BBC report, a British NGO, citing satellite images, has claimed that crude oil is being continuously sent from Russia to North Korea.
Since March this year, Moscow has sent more than 1 million barrels of oil to Pyongyang.
According to Britain’s leading experts and Foreign Secretary David Lammy, the crude oil being sent by Russia is payment for the soldiers and weapons that North Korea has sent to the war.
According to satellite photos, North Korean ships have appeared in the vicinity of Russian oil terminals 43 times in the past 8 months.
Quoting further satellite images, it was told that tankers come empty from North Korea and appear full while going back.
While sailing to Russia’s Vostochny port and back, North Korean ships keep their trackers off to conceal their movements, the report said.
The first transaction between the two countries took place on 7 March 2024. Just a few months later, reports started emerging that North Korea was sending weapons to Moscow to help Russia.
After this, dictator Kim Jong also sent about 11 thousand of his soldiers to war. On the other hand, Russia also continued sending oil. The satellite last recorded the oil tanker on 5 November.
The United Nations has imposed sanctions on North Korea for purchasing oil from the open market. Lamy alleged that if Putin is openly providing oil to North Korea then he is violating the rules.
The United Nations had imposed sanctions to prevent North Korea from developing nuclear weapons and to suppress its economy.
But later, to prevent black marketing of oil, in 2017, the UN imposed a cap of 5 million barrels per year on oil supply to North Korea. According to this, no country can sell oil to it more than the fixed quantity.
