The US will impose new sanctions against the DPRK, if Pyongyang provides weapons of the Russian Federation - the State Department
This is stated in the article of The Associated Press of September 12. According to US officials, Putin can focus on providing supply of North Korean artillery and other ammunition to replenish the stocks. Due to the continued counter -offensive of the Armed Forces, the Kremlin seeks to prevent the promotion of Ukrainian troops, intending to show that Russia is able to wage war on exhaustion.
This, in turn, can put additional pressure on the United States and their partners, as fears of concern for protracted conflict are increasing. "We urge the DPRK to comply with the public obligations that Pyongyang has taken over, not supply and sell Russia's weapons," says Edrien Watson National Security Council. At the same time, the State Department spoke in an ultimate form.
According to Matthew Miller, a representative of the State Department, any transfer of weapons from North Korea to Russia will be a violation of numerous resolutions of the UN Security Council, and in this case, the United States will impose new sanctions without hesitation. In this context, South Korea officials also spoke. Foreign Ministry Representative Lim Su Suk said that Seoul was keeping in touch with Moscow and watching Kim Jong -in's visit to Russia.
"No UN Member States should violate the sanctions of the Security Council against North Korea, participating in the illegal trade in weapons, and even more so, it should not be involved in military cooperation with North Korea, which undermines the peace and stability of the international community," Lim emphasized. Earlier, Western analysts commented on the negotiations of President Vladimir Putin and the Secretary General of the DPRK Kim Jong -in.
