The United States, Japan and South Korea issued a joint statement Wednesday strongly condemning North Korea for allegedly supplying Russia with munitions “for use against the government and people of Ukraine.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Japanese Foreign Minister Yōko Kamikawa and South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin said they have confirmed several weapon deliveries have been completed and warned the weapons will have devastating effects on the death toll in Ukraine.
“We will continue to work together with the international community to expose Russia’s attempts to acquire military equipment from the DPRK,” they wrote in the statement, using the initials of North Korea’s formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. “In the face of Russia’s attempt to prolong the war with assistance from the DPRK, we remain resolved to support Ukraine’s sovereignty and its efforts to counter the effects of Russia’s war of aggression.”
