The U.S. during a UN Security Council meeting on Wednesday condemned the weapons trade between North Korea and Russia, saying their “abhorrent“ moves are targeting Ukrainians. “It’s abhorrent that a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council is flagrantly violating Council resolutions to attack another U.N. member state.“ The deputy U.S. ambassador also said that Russia is expected to use more missiles to destroy critical infrastructure and kill people in Ukraine. Russia, however, denied all allegations, saying the U.S. is spreading false information. “The U.S. seems to be spreading information that is wrong without going through the trouble of checking this beforehand.“ South Korea also accused North Korea of using Ukraine as a test site for its nuclear-capable weapons and added insights gained could lead to further arms exports by Pyongyang. “It can be further encouraged that the export of ballistic missiles to other countries and rake in new revenue to further finance its illegal nuclear and ballistic missile programs.“ He also added that such moves pose a serious threat to the Korean Peninsula. Hwang’s remarks came amid speculation that the regime might have sold new types of tactical guided missiles to Russia.
