Heads of foreign ministries of 47 countries condemn supply of ballistic missiles to russia from North Korea

The foreign ministers of 47 countries condemned North Korea's supply of ballistic missiles to russia.

The text of the joint statement is published on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

The statement was signed, in particular, by representatives of the USA, Great Britain, Australia, Germany, Canada, as well as the European Union.

"The transfer of these weapons increases the suffering of the Ukrainian people, supports russia's aggressive war, and undermines the global non-proliferation regime. Russia's use of North Korean ballistic missiles in Ukraine also provides North Korea with valuable technical and military information," the document says.

The statement emphasized that the transfer of ballistic missiles, along with any other weapons and related materials, from North Korea to russia violates numerous UN Security Council resolutions.

The ministers called on the DPRK and russia to comply with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and immediately stop all actions that violate them.

"While russia launches waves of missiles and drones against the Ukrainian people, we will continue to support Ukraine together. We also call on the DPRK to respond to the numerous and genuine offers to return to diplomacy, the only way to a lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula," the heads of foreign ministries emphasized.

We will remind you that the USA has evidence that last week the russian army struck Ukraine with North Korean-made ballistic missiles.
