John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications of the White House National Security Council, stated this today, January 4, at a briefing, reports the European Pravda publication.
According to Kirby, the United States has evidence of Russia receiving ballistic missiles from the DPRK, as well as negotiations between Moscow and Tehran on obtaining similar weapons, which the media also wrote about.
In response to Russia’s activities with Iran and North Korea, we are taking a number of measures with allies and partners, he emphasized.
It is noted that the United States, in particular, wants to raise the issue of military cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow at the UN Security Council, since it contradicts Security Council resolutions for which the Russian Federation itself previously voted.
We will demand that Russia answer for yet another violation of its international obligations. Second, we will impose sanctions on those who facilitate arms transfers between Russia and North Korea and Russia and Iran, Kirby added.
He also promised that the United States will continue to publish information and expose Russia’s weapons agreements to prevent other countries from “secretly helping the Russian war machine.”
Let us recall that the United States stated that Russia had already attacked Ukraine with ballistic missiles received from the DPRK at the end of December and beginning of January. According to American media, North Korea recently provided Russia with launchers and several dozen short-range ballistic missiles.
