North Korea denies weapons dealing with Russia

By Steve Yoon

 

North Korean official has denied alleged weapons transactions with Russia, warning the United States of an "undesirable result" if it continues to spread such rumors.

 

Kwon Jong-gun, a senior North Korean offical in charge of U.S. affairs in a statement, claimed the U.S. again talked about the "groundless rumor" of arms dealing between North Korea and Russia in an attempt to justify its offer of weapons to Ukraine.

 

“Trying to tarnish the image of (North Korea) by fabricating a non-existent thing is a grave provocation that can never be allowed and that cannot but trigger its reaction," said Kwon. 

 

"The U.S. should be mindful that it will face a really undesirable result if it persists in spreading the self-made rumor against the DPRK," he added.

 

Kwon did not say what he meant by an undesirable result.

 

The statement came two days after Kim Yo-jong, the powerful sister of the country's leader Kim Jong-un, issued a statement criticizing the U.S.' decision to send tanks to Ukraine to help its fight against Russia's invasion.

 

The White House has recently announced its decision to send 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine to help its fight against Russia's invasion and Kim Yo-jong said Washington is crossing the "red line."
