Ms Kim Yo Jong says it is a false rumour spread by hostile forces.
SEOUL – Ms Kim Yo Jong, powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, again denied arms exchanges with Russia, state media KCNA reported on May 17, saying her nation’s recently developed and updated weapon systems are not for sale to other countries.
But Ms Kim said the North Korea-Russia arms deal “theory” is made up of prejudice and fiction. It is the “most absurd theory” that does not deserve anyone’s evaluation or interpretation, according to KCNA quoting her press statement, calling it a false rumour spread by its hostile forces.The two countries remain technically at war because their 1950 to 1953 conflict ended in a truce, not a treaty.
The US announced fresh sanctions on May 16 on two Russian individuals and three Russian companies for facilitating arms transfers between Russia and North Korea, including ballistic missiles for use in Ukraine.
