North Korea, Russia-backed separatists to develop 'bilateral cooperation'

North Korea and the Russian-backed separatist Donetsk region of Ukraine will develop "equally beneficial bilateral cooperation", Donetsk separatist head Denis Pushilin has said in a letter to Kim Jong-un, North Korean state media reported.

In July, North Korea recognised the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics in eastern Ukraine's Donbass region, as independent states.

Pushilin wrote a letter to congratulate Kim on the August 15 Korean liberation day, state news agency KCNA reported, two days after reporting a similar message from Russian President Vladimir Putin to Kim.

"The people of the Donbas region, too, are fighting to regain their freedom and justice of history today just as the Korean people did 77 years ago," the report cited Pushilin's letter as saying.

The launch of the Iranian satellite "Khayam" is a concrete sign of the expansion of Tehran-Moscow cooperation


According to IRNA's report on Wednesday, this American media, regarding the successful launch of the Iranian Khayam satellite from the Baikonur base in Kazakhstan, added: A Russian rocket launched Iran's surveillance satellite into Earth orbit on Tuesday, which according to analysts, undermined Iran's ability to collect information. It strengthens and is a tangible sign of the expansion of relations between Iran and Russia, which are facing Western sanctions.

According to this newspaper, Russia is seeking to form a closer alliance with Iran, and Iran has said that the launch of this satellite is part of the space cooperation agreement between the two countries.

Yury Borisov, the head of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) described the launch of this satellite as a success and called it an important milestone in the bilateral cooperation between Iran and Russia and said that this launch opens the way for the implementation of new and even bigger projects.

He added that the successful launch of this satellite in line with the interests and orders of Iran has become an important milestone in the bilateral cooperation between Russia and Iran and opens the way for the implementation of new and even bigger projects.

The New York Times wrote: The Iranian Space Agency has announced that the Khayyam satellite is equipped with a high-resolution camera. On the other hand, some independent experts have said that this satellite will significantly strengthen Iran's ability to monitor sites, including possible military targets in Israel (the Zionist regime) and the Middle East.

An expert from an American non-partisan organization known as the "Missile Defense Support Coalition" has described this satellite, which has the ability to send clearer images of the earth, as an important challenge for the Zionist regime.

He considered the launch of this satellite as a real development for Iran and stated that for the first time Iran has a high resolution satellite.

The New York Times wrote: The Iranian Aerospace Organization emphasizes that this satellite is not for military purposes, and in its August 7 statement, it announced that the purpose of launching this satellite is to help agricultural programs, water resources, and other environmental applications.

The satellite that was launched on Tuesday was named after Omar Khayyam, a famous medieval Persian scientist and poet. Russia's Baikonur space base in Kazakhstan, from where the satellite was launched, has been used for space launches for decades and was opened when Kazakhstan was part of the former Soviet Union.

According to IRNA, the successful launch of the indigenous satellite "Khayyam" and the progress of the Islamic Republic of Iran in this field have attracted the attention of the regional and international media.

In their reports, these media have mentioned the success of the Iranian satellite in being placed in an orbit 500 kilometers from the earth's surface, the close relations between Moscow and Tehran in the face of Western sanctions, and described "Khayyam" as the newest and most advanced satellite in the family of Iranian satellites. They said that by launching into space, like the previous satellites of Omid, Sina, Misbah and Noor, it has been placed in the earth's orbit.
