Kyiv • UNN
Russia's veto of North Korea's ballistic missile control and their cooperation in providing weapons to attack Ukraine demonstrates the close ties between Russia and North Korea amid Russia's aggression against Ukraine, Borrell points out.
What is happening in the Indo-Pacific region in relation to Russia's aggression against Ukraine and Russia's recent veto in the UN Security Council on controlling North Korea's ballistic missiles shows how closely Russia and North Korea are working together to provide weapons to attack Ukraine. This was stated on Thursday by EU diplomat Josep Borrell upon his arrival at NATO headquarters for a meeting with ministers from New Zealand, Australia, Japan and South Korea, UNN reports.
Today we are hosting our colleagues and friends from the Indo-Pacific region. What is happening in the Indo-Pacific region is also connected to Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Russia's recent veto at the UN to control North Korean ballistic missiles shows how close Russia and North Korea are and how they are working together to provide weapons to attack Ukraine. We will talk about this
The EU High Representative said he had met the day before with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, "who explained to me the situation at the front." "We need to increase our support to do more and faster. We have done a lot, but it is clearly not enough," Borrell said.
"Russia is destroying civilian objects. It is trying to cut off electricity to all Ukrainians. It is killing people and destroying infrastructure. This shows only one thing: we must continue to support Ukraine, more so to protect civilians and to empower Ukrainians to resist aggression," said the EU's top diplomat.
"It is important that we look at what is happening in three places in the world: The Black Sea - the scenario of Russia's aggression against Ukraine - the Red Sea, where I approved the deployment of a naval mission, and the South China Sea. These three places are hot spots in the world," Borrell said.
