John Kirby, coordinator of the White House National Security Council, spoke about this at a briefing.
He noted that the American side had already informed about Russia’s first known launch of a North Korean ballistic missile into Ukraine on December 30. On January 2, Russia attacked Zaporozhye, Kyiv, Kharkov and other cities with about ten such missiles.
On January 6, Russian forces again launched several North Korean ballistic missiles at Ukraine. We are still assessing the impact of these strikes, but we can confirm that at least one of them hit Kharkiv,” Kirby said.
He stressed that the United States joined the joint statement of the heads of foreign affairs of 47 countries condemning the export of ballistic missiles from the DPRK to Russia, as well as the use of these weapons against Ukraine. Kirby also announced the US intention to continue to impose sanctions against anyone who facilitates the illegal transfer of weapons to the aggressor country.
At the same time, he emphasized that the most effective assistance to Ukraine from the United States was the adoption by Congress of a new aid package for Ukraine without further delay.
Moscow is seeking help from countries such as North Korea and Iran. “Ukraine needs our help, and we call on Congress to help us meet these needs,” Kirby once again urged.
On the evening of January 9, the Russians again attacked Kharkov with S-300 missiles. The territory and premises of the children’s health center were damaged. Fortunately, there were no people in the premises, said the head of the OVA, Sinegubov.
