In the corners of triangle $ABC$ there are three circles with the same radius. Each of them is tangent to two of the triangle's sides. The vertices of triangle $MNK$ lie on different sides of triangle $ABC$, and each edge of $MNK$ is also tangent to one of the three circles. Likewise, the vertices of triangle $PQR$ lie on different sides of triangle $ABC$, and each edge of $PQR$ is also tangent to one of the three circles (see picture below). Prove that triangles $MNK,PQR$ have the same inradius.
