The deputy director of the Department of Publicity and Information of the Workers’ Party of Korea and sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made comments on Friday about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Kim Yo-jong said the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) will always “stand in the same trench” alongside the Russian army and people, showing deepening alignment with Russia during the war in Ukraine, TASS news agency reported .
In a statement carried by the KCNA news agency, she said that “the people of Russia have risen up to defend the dignity and honor of the state and the sovereignty and security of their country.”
Furthermore, she criticized the US decision to hand over Abrams tanks to Ukraine as “a vile step”. She said the United States is escalating a proxy war aimed at destroying Moscow.
She also accused the US government of crossing the red line even further by sending support to Ukraine.
The decision reflects a sinister intent to realize his hegemonic goal by further expanding the proxy war to destroy Russia,
“The United States is the arch-criminal that poses a serious threat and challenge to Russia’s strategic security and pushes the regional situation to the current grave phase. I have no doubt that any military equipment that the United States and the West boast of will burn to pieces in the face of the indomitable fighting spirit and might of the heroic Russian army and people,” she added.
