Britain has condemned the use of ballistic weaponry by the Russian army, acquired from North Korea, during recent attacks on Ukrainian territory, according to Reuters.
"The UK strongly condemns Russia’s decision to use ballistic missiles sourced from North Korea in recent attacks against Ukraine. We urge North Korea to cease its arms supply to Russia," said a representative of the UK Foreign Ministry.
According to the UK Foreign Ministry spokesperson, new sanctions against North Korea may be imposed for transferring missiles to Russia.
"UK will continue to work with its partners to ensure that North Korea pays a high price for supporting Russia's illegal war in Ukraine," the statement said.
