The representative of North Korea in the United Nations rejected the sending of troops to Moscow

According to Isna, South Korea’s spy agency claimed last week that North Korea sent 1,500 soldiers to the Russian Far East earlier this month to fight for Moscow in the Ukraine war, and that Pyongyang is ready to send more troops.

According to the Reuters News agency, North Korea’s representative to the United Nations said on Monday during a committee meeting at the organization’s General Assembly: “Regarding the so-called military cooperation with Russia, my delegation does not feel any need to comment on such baseless clichéd rumors.” »

The representative of North Korea in the United Nations also emphasized: “Seoul’s claims are aimed at destroying the image of North Korea and weakening the legitimate and friendly relations as well as the cooperation between the two independent countries.”

Before that, US Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations, Robert Wood, told the Security Council of this international organization: “We are consulting with our allies and partners about this issue. “If North Korea sends troops to help Russia in Ukraine, it will be a dangerous and very worrying move.”

Meanwhile, US Defense Minister Lloyd Austin has emphasized that he cannot confirm the claims about the participation of North Korean military forces in supporting Russia in the Ukraine war.

On Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied South Korea’s claim that North Korea may have sent some military personnel to help Russia against Ukraine.
