North Korea condemned Ukraine’s attack on Russia’s Kursk region as an unforgivable act of terror backed by Washington and the West.
In a statement, state media said on Sunday that North Korea would always stand with Russia as it seeks to protect its sovereignty.
Ukraine’s drive into Russia is a product of the anti-Russia confrontational policy of the United States, which is pushing the situation to the brink of World War Three, KCNA news agency said.

”We strongly condemn the armed attack against the Russian territory by the Zelenskiy puppet regime under the control and support of the United States and the West as an unforgivable act of aggression and terror,” North Korea’s foreign ministry said in a statement, according to KCNA.
North Korea has dramatically upgraded its ties with Russia in the past year with two summit meetings by their leaders who pledged closer cooperation in all areas.
