North Korea on Monday criticized South Korea for warning it over military ties with Russia, calling the country’s President Yoon Suk Yeol “a man whose mind is full of garbage”, and calling him ” Also called ‘a fool in matters of diplomacy’. Yun told the UN General Assembly last week that he would “not sit idly by” if North Korea and Russia sign an arms deal that poses a threat to South Korea.
Earlier this month, there was international concern over North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s visit to Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin and visit important military sites and fears that the war with Ukraine could lead to North Korea may pressure Russia to acquire sophisticated nuclear and weapons technologies in exchange for replenishing Russia’s depleted conventional weapons stockpile. “Puppet traitor Yun Suk Yeol defamed relations between (North Korea) and Russia at the UN General Assembly,” North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said, amid concerns about a possible arms deal with Russia. Without commenting on specifics, KCNA said maintaining close ties with neighboring countries is a “natural” and “legitimate right”.
