North Korea has strongly rejected NATO's accusations of supplying missiles and ammunition to Russia, calling them "slander" and issuing a warning of "tragic consequences" if NATO persists with its "hostile policy." In a statement from the North Korean Foreign Ministry, Pyongyang expressed outrage over NATO's condemnation of its military cooperation with Russia, as well as similar criticism of Iran's support for Moscow.

The timing of these accusations, coinciding with the NATO Secretary General's visit to Ukraine, was interpreted by North Korea as a signal that the Alliance aims to confront the DPRK directly. The statement reiterated North Korea’s stance, echoing Russian propaganda, that NATO, not Moscow, is responsible for instigating the war in Ukraine. Additionally, North Korea criticized NATO's expansion into the Asia-Pacific region, claiming that the Alliance is seeking to justify its existence post-Cold War.

Pyongyang warned that if NATO continues its "hostile" actions, it would hold the Alliance fully accountable for any resulting "tragic consequences." This marks a firm stance from North Korea, highlighting the growing geopolitical tensions surrounding military support for Russia amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

It appears one person in North Korea gets enough to eat.
