North Korea has come out and denounced NATO’s condemnation of military cooperation between North Korea and Russia, warning that the entity could face “tragic consequences” if it continues to pursue an anti-North Korea stance. NATO had issued a statement condemning North Korea and Iran for “fueling” Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine with their direct military support to Moscow. This hypocrisy really illustrates the arrogance of NATO and the West, where they can fund Ukraine but try to threaten those who support Russia.
North Korea denounced NATO’s statement, arguing that NATO is merely a product of U.S. hegemonic ambition.
“NATO, no more than a tool of the U.S. for war, slandered the intensified legal cooperation between independent sovereign states while distorting the essence of the Ukrainian incident,” an unnamed ministry spokesperson was quoted as saying by the Korean Central News Agency.
