Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Anna Evstigneeva, during the Nov. 4 UN Security Council Briefing on the Situation on the Korean Peninsula, called on South Korea to refrain from sending weapons to the Kiev regime.
She told the Security Council: “We regret that our longstanding friends and partners in Seoul are rapidly losing their independence under pressure from Washington, thus jeopardizing their own national interests. It appears that they have also get dragged into Washington’s dangerous adventures to increase the supply of Western arms to Ukraine, which Kiev desperately needs due to the huge losses in the battlefield. … It seems that by pursuing their aggressive policy on the Korean peninsula, the Americans are at the same time trying to achieve their goal to mobilize its allies against Russia. This says a great deal about America’s true motives vis-a-vis the subregion. We urge our South Korean colleagues to come to their senses and not to embark on an extremely dangerous path that will lead Seoul to no good. All the more so since, according to South Korean surveys, the clear majority of the country’s population does not support sending arms to Ukraine.”
