US and allies alarmed by North Korea’s nuclear threats, military support for Russia in Ukraine

Quick Summary:

SEOUL, South Korea—The US and its allies are "alarmed” by North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats as well as its increasing military support for Russia’s war in Ukraine, a senior US official said Wednesday, but couldn’t confirm Ukrainian claims that North Korean soldiers were sent to fight for Moscow.

Russia in March vetoed a UN resolution in a move that effectively abolished monitoring by UN experts of Security Council sanctions against North Korea.

Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have spiked since 2022, as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un used Russia’s war on Ukraine as a window to dial up his weapons testing activities and threats.
