NORTH KOREA has condemned Ukraine’s attack on Russia’s Kursk region, calling it an unforgivable act of terror backed by the United States and the West.
With its full support for Moscow, Pyongyang said it would always support Russia in its efforts to protect its sovereignty.
“Ukraine’s push toward Russia is a product of the United States’ anti-Russian confrontational policy, which is pushing the situation to the brink of World War III,” KCNA said, citing a statement from the North Korean Foreign Ministry, as reported by Anadolu, Monday (19/8).
“We strongly condemn the armed attack on Russian territory by the puppet regime of (Ukrainian President) Zelenskiy under the control and support of the United States and the West as an unforgivable act of aggression and terror,” the statement added.
Pyongyang and Moscow have upgraded their relations to a strategic partnership in recent months.
The two sides signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Pyongyang in June. (I-2)
