"Two -sided Street": In the USA, worried about Russian military ties and DPRK - media

He stated this on November 9 at a press conference in Seoul, reports Reuters. Blinken and South Korean Foreign Minister Pak Gin also stated that they discussed the so -called extended restraint strategy in counteracting North Korean threats, which involves the use of US military assets, including their nuclear forces, to protect against attacks and improve cooperation with Japan .

"We have real concern about any support of North Korean Ballistic Missile programs, its nuclear technologies, its space launch capabilities. We are working on . . . identifying, exposing, and, if necessary, counteracting this effort," Blinken said. It is reported that the United States and their allies have condemned the supply of weapons and military equipment from the DPRK to the Russian Federation for use in the war against Ukraine.

North Korea and Russia deny any weapons supply agreements, although their leaders promised closer military cooperation when they met in September in the Far East of the Russian Federation. Blinken stated that Pyongyang was supplying military equipment to Russia for use in the war with Ukraine, and Moscow, for his part, provides technical support to help the DPRK to achieve military progress.

"It is real concern about the safety of the Korean Peninsula, real concern for global non -proliferation regimes, it is real concern about Russian aggression against Ukraine and real concern about breach of numerous UN Security Council resolutions," he said. We will remind, on November 7 it was reported that the DPRK actively supplies weapons not only Russia. Egypt, Syria, Iran and other Middle East countries are one of the importers of North Korean weapons.
