A senior diplomat has informed the UN that the West is attempting to undermine cooperation between North Korea and Russia.
North Korea has denied allegations that it has sent troops to Russia for involvement in the Ukraine conflict, labeling the claims as an effort to damage its reputation.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky recently accused North Korea of dispatching weapons and military personnel to Russia to support the ongoing conflict. Following this, South Korea raised concerns about the alleged deployment of North Korean troops to the war zone, leading to a summons of the Russian ambassador in Seoul, where officials urged Moscow to “stop relevant cooperation” with North Korea.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov characterized the speculation regarding North Korean military participation in Ukraine as a “bogus story.” He further stated that Moscow and Pyongyang “are developing relations in all areas” and highlighted that the Pentagon had not confirmed any North Korean troop deployment, referencing previous remarks by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
During a session on disarmament and international security at the UN General Assembly on Monday, a North Korean representative rejected the accusations. “As for the so-called military cooperation with Russia, my delegation does not feel any need to comment on groundless and stereotype rumors aimed at smearing the image of the DPRK and undermining the legitimate friendly and cooperative relations between sovereign states,” the representative asserted.
The diplomat continued, stating that the “so-called arms transfers between sovereign states is totally incompatible with this thematic debate.”
Following the onset of the Ukraine conflict, Russia and North Korea have strengthened the close ties that trace back to the Soviet era. In June, the two nations signed a treaty to elevate their relationship to a “comprehensive strategic partnership,” which includes a stipulation that in the event of an invasion, the other party “shall provide military and other assistance with all means in its possession without delay.”
Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin formally requested parliament to ratify this significant agreement.
