Kim Yo Jong, the sister of the North Korean leader, highlighted in a statement, "The use of a private car sent as a gift by President Putin is clear evidence of the deep friendship between North Korea and Russia, which continues to grow." She praised the limousine, noting its exceptional features and reliability, as reported by "Polsat News."
However, UN experts have raised concerns that Putin's luxurious gift contravenes UN resolutions aimed at curbing North Korea's nuclear ambitions. These resolutions include a prohibition on providing luxury goods to Pyongyang, and the Aurus Senat undoubtedly falls into the category of luxury items.
