North Korea denies and considers unsubstantiated information about the transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia, which the aggressor country uses to attack Ukraine, according to a representative of North Korea at the United Nations, Kim Song.

According to him, North Korea "does not feel the need to comment on every U.S. groundless accusation" and that it is supposedly the United States that is the cause of Russia's war against Ukraine.

"The U.S. pulled up the DPRK which has nothing to do with the discussion of agenda items. This is the vivid reflection of their plight in the tight corner and only reveals its insufficient might and means in the strategic confrontation with Russia," said Kim Song.

Russia uses missiles from North Korea to attack Ukraine

On January 4, the coordinator of the White House National Security Council, John Kirby, announced that Russia had purchased ballistic missiles from North Korea, which had already been used to strike Ukraine.

The Wall Street Journal also reported that North Korea could have transferred several dozen ballistic missiles to Russia for attacks on Ukraine.

Later, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Syniehubov, revealed that the Russians had recently shelled Kharkiv with missiles that were not made on the territory of the Russian Federation.

On January 6, the spokesperson for the prosecutor's office of the Kharkiv region, Dmytro Chubenko, said that the Russians used a missile obtained from North Korea to attack Kharkiv on January 2 and provided corresponding evidence.

Recently, the White House reported that Russian occupiers continue to shell Ukraine with North Korean ballistic missiles.
