US Claims Russia Used North Korean Missiles in Ukraine War, Promises UN Action.
The US accuses Russia of using North Korean ballistic missiles in the Ukraine conflict, calling it a “significant escalation.”
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says the US will bring the matter to the UN Security Council and impose more sanctions.
Russia denies the allegations. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, after the accusations, calls for expanding missile launch vehicle production.
This marks the first time US intelligence has shared details about ballistic missiles supplied by North Korea to Russia.
The UK condemns Russia’s use of these missiles and vows to ensure North Korea faces consequences for supporting Russia’s actions.
Kirby urges swift US Congress approval for additional funding to Ukraine, emphasizing support for the Ukrainian people against Russia’s violence.
Talks on further aid in Congress have stalled. Ukraine warns of risks to its war effort and public finances without timely Western aid.
