The United States, the European Union and nearly 50 countries accused North Korea on Tuesday of delivering missiles to Russia, demanding an immediate end to this cooperation. Last week, the American administration denounced these deliveries of missiles used, according to it, by Russia in its recent large-scale attacks on Ukraine.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, EU foreign minister Josep Borrell and 47 foreign ministers condemned North Korean support for Russia in “the strongest possible terms”. “The transfer of these weapons increases the suffering of the Ukrainian people, supports Russia’s war of aggression and undermines the global non-proliferation system,” they said in a joint statement.
The 47 signatory countries are close partners of the United States, including South Korea, Japan and Israel.
