Commenting on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s remarks
about possibly arming North Korea, U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew
Miller described such statements as “deeply concerning” during a briefing
on June 20.
“Of course, it will destabilize the Korean Peninsula and
potentially lead to the fact of possible violation of UN Security Council
resolutions, that Russia itself has supported, depending on the type of weapons
they provide,” he said.
The United States will continue to work with allies in the
region: South Korea, Japan and others to respond to the threat posed by North
Korea.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin said on June 20 that he “does
not rule out” arms supply to North Korea, where he signed a mutual defense
treaty this week.
“We reserve the right to supply weapons to other regions of
the world,” Putin said.
“Considering our agreements with North Korea, I don’t rule
it out that possibility either.”
Putin’s visit to North Korea
White House spokesman John Kirby expressed concern about the
deepening relations between Russia and North Korea, particularly regarding its
impact on the war in Ukraine and security on the Korean Peninsula.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
