Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko told TASS this morning that the US is trying to make Seoul an accomplice of the Kiev regime. “The Seoul authorities, supported by “like-minded people” in NATO, continue to artificially promote the topic of DPRK (North Korean) servicemen in the special military operation zone to increase forceful pressure on Pyongyang, acting in close partnership with the North Atlantic Alliance,” the high-ranking diplomat noted. “This, in turn, meets the goals of the collective West, which is seeking to involve the Republic of Korea in common efforts to pump up the regime of [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky with weapons and thereby make it an accomplice to the crimes committed by Westerners,” he added.
“As for Seoul’s linking its possible arms supplies to Kiev with the development of cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang, such an approach could lead to very negative consequences. It is obvious that the Ukrainian conflict has nothing to do with the Korean Peninsula,” Rudenko said.
