Putin really South Korea this time! The reason is actually very simple: he gave North Korea's Kim Jong-un a Russian luxury car worth 650,000 yuan, which is still the kind he usually drives. This is obviously trying to win over the DPRK and bring Russian-North Korean relations one step closer.
It is said that this car 66T V12 engine, 850 horsepower, 1320 Nm, 9AT gearbox, Porsche also participated in the development and tuning of the engine (foreign media information is not confirmed) Before many countries banned the export of cars to North Korea, the Mercedes-Benz of the supreme leader was brought in several times.
But in this way, the South Korean side is not happy. They felt that the car was too luxurious and went against the United Nations sanctions against North Korea, which prohibits the supply of luxury goods to North Korea, including cars.
Really, South Korea's reaction this time was quite big, I don't know if it was because of jealousy or worry, in short, they were quite excited. It seems that South Korea may be a little too sensitive this time, and it feels like a bit of a fuss.
Not only South Korea, but also the United States*** has also said**. It clearly states:
The United States *** Putin gave the DPRK a luxury car, violating the United Nations sanctions resolution against the DPRK. On February 21, Miller, director of the U.S. press office, said that Russia's Vladimir Putin's gift of luxury cars to the DPRK violated the UN Security Council sanctions resolution on North Korea.
