North Korea says U.S. risking 'nuclear disaster' | 29 Sept 2024 | The U.S. is taking a dangerous gamble by providing Ukraine with ever more weaponry and seemingly ignoring Russia’s warnings, something that could trigger a “nuclear disaster,” Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korea’s leader, has claimed. During a state visit to North Korea this June, Russian President Vladimir Putin and leader Kim Jong-un signed the Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The document includes a pledge by Moscow and Pyongyang to assist each other in case of foreign aggression. Putin also stated at the time that “Russia does not rule out the development of military cooperation with the DPRK,” given that Western nations are supplying advanced weapons to Ukraine. In a press statement released on Sunday, Kim Yo-jong predicted that “additional US military support for Ukraine will bring about a nuclear disaster to the world.” She denounced as “foolish” Joe Biden’s decision earlier this week to supply Kiev with nearly $8 billion worth of military aid.
