Nearly 50 countries joined the United States in condemning North Korea’s alleged transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia, calling for an immediate end to the delivery of weapons, the U.S. State Department wrote in joint statement on Jan 9.
“Our governments stand together in resolute opposition to arms transfers between the DPRK and Russia,” read the joint statement, using the initials of North Korea’s official name. “The transfer of ballistic missiles, along with any other arms and related materiel, from the DPRK to Russia flagrantly violates multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions.”
The joint declaration from the 48 western countries and the European Union, comes as U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Tuesday that Russia had fired more such weapons at Ukraine, including one that landed in Kharkiv on Jan. 6.
So… they sent a strongly worded letter? How about the shipment having an “accident”? That would send a far stronger message.
Ancillary reports is the NK artiillary rounds have a high fail rate, including exploding inside the turret.
condemning North Korea for anything is pointless.
It is a country with maximized authoritarianism.
What would help is supplying Ukraine with more ammo with further reach and higher precision.
