The visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to North Korea is, in the opinion of the US government, a cause for great concern. “The deepening cooperation between Russia and North Korea is something that should concern anyone interested in maintaining peace and stability on the Korean peninsula, but also in supporting the Ukrainian people who continue to fight against Russian aggression,” US Defense Department spokesman Pat Ryder said in Washington on Tuesday.
White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre made similar comments. She said that the supply of weapons from North Korea had helped Russia to wage its brutal war in Ukraine. No country in the world should support Russia's aggression. The country was blatantly violating the UN Charter and trying to undermine the international system.
