Budanov: DPRK receives money and nuclear technology from Russia in exchange for soldiers (mil.in.ua)

North Korea sends its troops to Russia to further participate in the war against Ukraine in exchange for money and nuclear technology.

Kyrylo Budanov, Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, stated this in a comment to The Economist.

It is noted that North Korea does not give its people or weapons to Russia for free. Moscow pays money and transfers technology for this.

According to Budanov, Russia is helping North Korea to circumvent sanctions and β€œstrengthen” its nuclear capabilities. In particular, it shares some technologies for tactical nuclear weapons and submarine-launched missile systems.

The expanded cooperation between the two countries in the military sphere is not happening out of the blue but is the result of a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement signed by Putin and DPRK leader Kim Jong-un in June of this year.

Modern slavery. The soldiers used as currency by the Kim family.

No it's not. More nuclear powers will make us less safe in total. It's just that if a current nuclear power decides they will ignore it, there is little recourse. That does not mean that there won't be a strike on something related in the future.

They probably already have them.

They have plutonium, the know how to make a bomb, and ballistic missiles with enough carrying capacity. At this point it's an Ikea package... Some assembly required. It won't be a megaton bomb with hydrogen booster etc etc.. but a few kiloton-range bombs are definitely in the realm of possibility.

If Ukraine's leadership worth anything, everything should be ready for assembly. No doubt
