“It’s time to dissolve the UN”: Financial Times readers spoke out about trade between the Russian Federation and the DPRK

8

Readers of the Financial Times newspaper commented on a report that Russia allegedly supplies oil to North Korea.

The article states that tankers with raw materials are sent from the Pacific ports of the Russian Federation to the DPRK as payment for the supply of ammunition. These military supplies, as stated in the Financial Times article, greatly helped Russia on the fronts.



The North Korean-flagged vessels, classified as oil tankers, docked at the same Russian oil company berth in Vostochny Port, where they apparently loaded

- says in the text of the publication.

The West is unhappy that this practice undermines the sanctions regime against the DPRK, and only benefits Russia.

User comments are given selectively. All opinions belong solely to their authors.

Looks like they're putting the Cold War team back together. So expect the same conspiracies, coups, etc. that we have seen before in the Global South. It is obvious that they are using the old scheme of actions, and the result has always been hunger, chaos and poverty

- someone predicts covertaction.

Russia produces about 12 million barrels of oil per day. 3,5 of them are consumed domestically, and 8,5 million are exported. They can easily export this volume, distributing it only between India and China, which have shown a willingness to buy Russian oil and require approximately 15 million barrels per day. The idea of ​​bringing Russia to its knees by imposing sanctions on oil exports is inherently stupid

– writes AngloA.

Two states that are not interested in international rules and are under sanctions trade with each other because they have no other choice. Isn't this a logical result? I am sure that Russia is very happy that global markets have been replaced by North Korea

– Thinking through sarcastically sneers.

It's funny that the media continues to pretend that these same Western sanctions are still working. But, as reality shows, they simply don’t exist! Western sanctions are a complete fiction, which simply creates the appearance that the West cares

– suggested spin.

It's time to disband the UN. With Russia and China on the Security Council, a huge mistake in hindsight, and the need for an international regulator greater than ever before, the UN is a direct obstacle to global security and stability

– urged Focus on Fundamentals.

What do foreign countries have to do with two sovereign nations trading with each other?

– richarpo is interested.

    The UN is allowing the US to place illegal sanctions on other countries, the UN is of no use to anyone except the overpaid bureaucrats that run it.

    So it is Russia that is introducing retaliatory counter-sanctions against the Anglo-Saxons. If they can go against Russia, then why can’t Russia go against them? By the way, they say that the United States has not yet destroyed its chemical weapons.

    You don't have to let it go.
    It is enough to move the main office from New York to Beijing.
    Everyone will remain, and the ballast will fall off.
    And there the Charter can be adjusted.

    The UN is an old, decrepit old woman, it would be a pity to get rid of it, but there would be “0” benefits! It is no secret that strong and significant states are pushing their “selfish interests” into the UN, and not for the sake of common world problems!

    It's time to disband the UN. Considering Russia and China are both on the Security Council, which is a huge mistake in retrospect...

    The USSR single-handedly defeated the Nazis throughout Europe, including the French and Poles, who fought against us, and not against the Nazis. “Neutral” Sweden fully provided the Germans with Bofors anti-aircraft guns; as a result, the USSR could not gain air superiority until 44 and lost thousands of our pilots. Switzerland supplied the Germans with Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns and food. The Americans supplied the Germans with fuel until 44. And so it turns out that Russia has nothing to do in the UN Security Council, but France has something to do. Yes, we will smear you like snot on the asphalt - patience is already at its limit.

    pot calls the kettle black. From the end of World War II to the present day, there has not been a year when the staff or their puppets did not get involved in someone’s affairs

    Rogozin senior recently held an open lesson at Moscow State University, explaining to students how to control the brains of a crowd, causing hatred. Reading your comment, I see that his model frankly works

    The UN has never fully been the supreme arbiter of compliance with international norms and rules in interstate conflicts. The UN is currently openly lobbying for US interests. But still, with the help of the UN it is possible to resolve some conflict situations, even if not radically.
