North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said , that the West and the US are using Ukraine as a front-line strike force in the war with Russia, which is being fought to gain combat experience and expand the scope of military intervention, KCNA reported.
Kim Jong Un said this in a speech titled “On the Current Situation and Tasks of Battalion Commanders and Political Leaders of the Korean People's Army“ to the participants in the 4th meeting of battalion commanders and political leaders, which was held for the first time in 10 years.
The leader of the DPRK said that war is not a matter of the distant future.
„We must view the war that the United States and the West are waging against Russia, using Ukraine as a strike force, as a conflict aimed at comprehensively accumulating real-world combat experience and expanding the scope of military intervention around the world. he said.
Kim Jong-un noted that the “American merchants of war” continue to provide military support to Ukraine and Israel, prolonging the current conflicts and more and more countries being “involved” in this situation. This is exacerbating global security concerns, heightening fears of World War III and leading to an increasingly dangerous situation.
He added that the risk of war exists everywhere in the world and no one can predict where and when it will start. At the same time, the Korean Peninsula is recognized as the region with the greatest probability of military clashes.
„Each part of our armed forces must focus their activities on preparing for war and make every effort to quickly complete this preparation,” the North Korean leader said.
