In its first official statement on Russia's attack, the North Korean Foreign Ministry said that the West was guilty of "abuse of power"."The root cause of the Ukraine crisis totally lies in the hegemonic policy of the U.S. and the West, which enforce themselves in high-handedness and abuse of power against other countries," the North's official KCNA news agency said, citing an unnamed foreign ministry spokesperson.
Washington has called for a resumption of talks on dismantling Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programmes, but North Korea has rejected the overtures, demanding U.S. "hostile policy" and "double standards" be dropped.
