Arms support to Ukraine Brazil ‘rejected’ Korea ‘Biden security guarantee’ Media Manipulation    

  

Regarding the war in Ukraine, Brazil refused to transfer and sell arms, and the Polish Prime Minister told the New York Times that “President Biden will give South Korea a security guarantee.”

What the Polish Prime Minister said in an NYT interview that 'Korea's demand for sales conditions' was conveyed by the Korean media as 'Polish Prime Minister demands US intervention'.

The NYT article was titled <Ukraine Needs Korean Shells, Polish Prime Minister Says> and subtitled <Prime Minister Mateus Morawiecki said, “Leaders in Seoul are confident that the US will provide assistance in the face of an aggressive response from China or Russia.” It is said that it is necessary>.

Korean daily newspapers wrote the same translation article as “US intervention is needed”, and the NYT said “US intervention is needed to purchase artillery shells from Seoul to send to Ukraine” and ‘talked about negotiations with Korea’ The meaning was changed to 'request for intervention' by the Prime Minister of Poland, leaving out the 'Explanation of the Korean negotiations'.
The New York Times reported on the 12th that Brazilian President Fula rejected Germany’s request for Leopard tank equipment and ammunition to Ukraine and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the 14th for peace talks and that Russian foreign minister would visit next week and hold bilateral talks.
In an interview on the same day, the Prime Minister of Poland said, “I have been talking with Korean officials over the past few months. I would be very happy if President Biden intervened," he told the NYT. "I don't think this would happen without the intervention of the United States, some kind of refuge, some kind of security guarantee that President Biden could give South Korea."
Brazil is a prolific producer of fighter jets, manufactured by Embraer, and has a low-cost weapons system for developing countries to produce weapons that Ukraine needs most.
In preparation for the World Cup and Olympics, Brazil purchased 34 double anti-aircraft guns and ammunition to shoot down aircraft over 3 miles from Germany, and due to a shortage of ammunition in the war in Ukraine, Germany requested the Brazilian government to return unused ammunition last year, but Brazil said, “ Not if it goes to Ukraine,” he refused.
Germany has given up on obtaining anti-aircraft ammunition from Brazil, and Defense Minister Pistorius said on the 14th of last month, "It means (Ukrainian ammunition) that Rheinmetall will now start its own production of Gepard ammunition without delay." Negotiations took time and in the end we were of the opinion that we had better go our own way sooner so as not to depend on them."
At the end of February, Germany supplied Ukraine with 37 Gepard anti-aircraft guns, demanded shells from Brazil, and demanded ammunition exports from Leopard subsidiary Gepard to neutral Switzerland.
The Associated Press reported on the 14th of last month that Germany had so far failed in several months of efforts to persuade neutral Switzerland to export stockpiles of Swiss Gepard ammunition manufactured by a subsidiary of German defense company Rheinmetall to Ukraine.
"According to documents verified by Brazil's Public Records Act, Ukraine has requested Brazil at least twice to purchase a long list of weapons, including armored vehicles, aircraft, air defense systems, mortar shells, sniper rifles, automatic weapons and ammunition," NYY said. The president said he would present his plans for peace talks to Russia and China.”
“We have talked with South Korea about arms delivery and ammunition delivery,” the Polish prime minister told the NYT. said.
The NYT continued, “The South Korean embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment,” and “Mr. “Poland has bought many weapons systems from South Korea, but it said it needed US intervention to buy artillery shells from Seoul, especially to send to Ukraine,” he said.
Korean daily newspapers write “US intervention is necessary” here, and the NYT said “(After negotiations with Korea) that US intervention is needed to purchase shells from Seoul.” He changed his remarks from “negotiations on the purchase of shells from Seoul” to “support for Ukraine.”

The NYT article on the “Ukraine Problem” said, “South Korea similarly refused to provide lethal assistance to Ukraine, citing its policy of not sending weapons to warring countries. Leaked Pentagon documents suggested that senior officials in Seoul feared pressure from Washington to ship ammunition to Ukraine anyway.
The NYT said from Seoul on the 11th, “Mr. Yoon’s government said that Defense Minister Jong-seop Lee and his US Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III agreed in a phone call on the morning of the 11th that ‘many of the documents in question have been fabricated’, and the importance of the leaks. seemed to minimize it.”
“Aides also discussed the possibility of selling 330,000 shells to Poland, with Warsaw ‘called an end user’ but sending the ammunition to Ukraine anyway,” the article continued.
Colombia's President Gustavo Petro tweeted on January 25, "We have rejected the request of the United States to send Russian weapons to the United States, which plans to give Ukraine, because the Colombian constitution requires us to pursue peace." should not enter We are not with anyone."
The NYT said in the “Ukraine problem” on the 12th, “There is no end in sight. Newly leaked Pentagon documents show that Ukraine is increasingly in dire need of anti-aircraft weapons of the kind that Russian forces, particularly Brazil, can provide. putting pressure on and sending help. But it's a worrying sign for Ukraine, and by extension Russia's foreign policy victory, some of these countries say they plan to sit by."
On the 11th, the Ministry of Defense of Japan signed a contract worth 2.8 billion dollars (202.6 billion yen) with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to develop and mass-produce long-range missiles with a range of 1,600 km.
The Ministry of Defense contract states that “mass production of an improved version of land, sea and air launched Mitsubishi Type 12 missiles and hypersonic ballistic missiles for the defense of remote islands, as well as already developed Type 12 land-ship guided missiles and hypersonic glide missiles will begin”. said the AP.
Mitsubishi, Japan's largest defense company, led the Pacific War with mass production of Zero fighter jets, and after losing a lawsuit against Korean forced laborers, President Yoon Seok-yeol agreed with Japan to dispose of them for "asset sales" as "third party compensation."

Since then, Mitsubishi has continuously announced military contracts such as missile fighters.
"The basic principle of Brazil's foreign policy is to remain a friend to everyone for a long time," Poland told the New York Times, "Trade data show that Brazil has supplied Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates with weapons and ammunition, including internationally condemned cluster bombs, since the 2014 war in Yemen," the NYT said.
