South Korea’s Yoon to underline ‘illicit’ N Korea-Russia military ties at UN meet

Firstpost  

Seoul and Washington have expressed concern that Russia could be trying to fetch ammunition from the North to shore up its thinning stockpile due to its invasion of Ukraine, while Pyongyang secures technological aid over its nuclear and missile programmes South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol plans to underline “illicit, dangerous” military dealings between North Korea and Russia at the United Nations on Wednesday, his aides said, following the two countries rare summit last week. In his remarks, Yoon would warn against any military trade between Moscow and Pyongyang and promote South Korea’s efforts to help Ukraine fight Russia’s aggression, a presidential official said. Any activities assisting with North Korea’s weapons programmes are banned under U.N. Security Council resolutions, and Putin has said his country would “never violate anything.” But the official ditched Moscow’s claim, saying South Korea has been “watching military transactions take place for several months prior to the summit” between Kim and Putin. On Tuesday, South Korea’s vice foreign minister, Chang Ho-jin, summoned Russia’s ambassador to abandon any potential arms deals with the North, warning of “clear consequences”.
