Recently, voices are ever increasing in Russia recognizing the test-launch of the new-type ICBM “Hwasongpho-17” as an inviolable act of exercising the right to self-defense countering the reckless military provocation by the U.S. and its following forces.
Vice-Minister of the Russian foreign ministry underlined in an interview that the U.S. and its allies are now testing the patience of Pyongyang; the U.S. and its allies in the region are choosing another way in defiance of the repeated stand of Russia to be out of the whirl of confrontation and make advancement.
The First Vice-Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation also expressed his view that the DPRK’s missile launch is to bolster its defense capability and the more proactively the DPRK endeavors to strengthen its defensive power, the less attempt will be made to solve the Korean issue by force.
A Deputy to the State Duma from the United Russia Party asserted that the nuclear program of the DPRK is a counter-measure to deter the prolonged provocation of the U.S. and its following forces, and without the nuclear shield the DPRK would have ended up like Iraq long ago.
