Press Statement by Director General of Department of U.S. Affairs of DPRK Foreign Ministry

Kwon Jong Gun, Director general of the Department of U.S. Affairs of the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea issued the following press statement on January 28:
As regards the press statement of Kim Yo Jong, vice-department director of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea which denounced the U.S. decision on supplying MBTs to Ukraine, a spokesperson for the National Security Council of the White House on January 27 said that the U.S. would continue to provide Ukraine with that it needs to defend itself from Russia’s “brutal war of choice” against Ukraine.
It is an absurd and sheer sophism as it is an extension of the illogical, deformed and gangster-like way of thinking of the U.S., which frequently introduces nuclear strike means into the Korean peninsula under the pretext of providing “extended deterrence” against “provocation” of someone.
Had the U.S. not infringed upon the just security interests of Russia and accelerated the eastward advance of NATO step by step, the present situation of Ukraine would not have been created.
The U.S. is working hard to supply such offensive weapons as MBTs to Ukraine at any cost in disregard of the just concern and criticism of the international community. This is a crime against humanity aimed at keeping the international situation unstable.
The U.S. again talked about the groundless rumor of “arms dealing between the DPRK and Russia”, in a foolish attempt to justify its offer of weapons to Ukraine.
It is an illegal act to question the legitimate right to national defence of a sovereign state.
Moreover, trying to tarnish the image of the DPRK by fabricating a non-existent thing is a grave provocation that can never be allowed and that cannot but trigger its reaction.
We clearly warn the U.S. once again on this occasion.
The U.S. should be mindful that it will face a really undesirable result if it persists in spreading the self-made rumor against the DPRK.
