Deepening cooperation between Russia and the DPRK

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian claimed during a briefing that China does not see any threats in the deepening of military relations between Russia and North Korea.

"Russia and North Korea are two independent and sovereign states, so the development of their bilateral relations is solely the business of these two countries," he said.

According to the Foreign Ministry representative, China does not know the details of bilateral exchanges and cooperation between the countries. At the same time, he confirmed Beijing's vision of ways to end the Russian-Ukrainian war.

"China's position on the settlement of the "Ukrainian crisis" remains unchanged and is committed to the earliest possible de-escalation and political settlement of disagreement," Lin added.

Previously, the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation Andriy Kovalenko said that the DPRK troops are already in temporarily occupied Donetsk.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said there was no proper international response to the presence of the DPRK troops on Russian territory.
