“Direct threat to peace and stability”: Ukraine's Foreign Ministry condemns NK's missile launches

This is stated on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“Pyongyang's latest provocation is a direct threat to peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the world. North Korea continues its blatant course of destabilization, which also includes the provision of military assistance to the aggressor state of Russia in violation of international sanctions regimes,” the statement said.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that such actions of the DPRK violate international law and pose a threat of escalation of the security situation in the region, and called on the international community to ensure “tough sanctions pressure” on the DPRK to prevent further development of its missile programs.

“During the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, Ukraine will appeal to the international community to strengthen the policy of deterring the DPRK to counter its destructive actions in Asia and Europe,” the Ministry added.
