Zakharova: “Such actions constitute a flagrant violation of North Korea’s national sovereignty and interference in the country’s internal affairs”
The Russian Foreign Ministry on Monday accused South Korea of escalating tensions in its relations with the communist North, stressing that diplomatic efforts are needed to restore security on the Korean peninsula.
Seoul has estimated that North Korea plans to blow up roads on the two countries’ iron-fence border after Pyongyang accused South Korea of sending drones to drop propaganda leaflets on its soil.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that “such actions constitute a flagrant violation of North Korea’s national sovereignty and interference in the country’s internal affairs.” “Ensuring sustainable peace and stability in the region is only possible through political and diplomatic channels”, he added and underlined that “there is no alternative way, unless confrontation is the real goal of South Korea and its “biggest” ally, the US ».
On Monday, the Russian Duma (Lower House) submitted for ratification the treaty on strategic cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang, as reported by the Interfax news agency. Among other things, it provides that each side will offer military assistance to the other in the event of an attack.
Kiev claims it has evidence that North Korean weapons were used in Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities. In a video message released Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he had been informed about North Korea’s “engagement in the war.”
