‘Body Bags Await’: U.S. Warns North Korean Troops Supporting Russia at Fiery UN Session

UN Web TV

During a recent United Nations Security Council meeting in New York, representatives from South Korea and the United States faced off with their North Korean and Russian counterparts over North Korea’s troop deployment to Russia.

UN Web TV reported that the meeting centered on the “Maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine” and addressed concerns surrounding North Korea’s involvement. The event marked a sharp escalation in the already tense relations between North Korea, Russia, and the Western-aligned nations on the council.

Hwang Joon Kook, South Korea’s Ambassador to the UN, condemned North Korea’s actions, stating, “NAs legitimate military targets, they will end up as mere cannon fodder, while the wages they are supposed to receive from Russia will end up squarely in Kim Jong Un’s pocket.” He further criticized, “Pyongyang’s treatment of its young soldiers, its own people, as expendable will be never forgiven.”

Hwang vowed that South Korea would respond decisively to the illegal military cooperation between North Korea and Russia, working closely with the international community and taking appropriate measures as the situation evolves.

U.S. Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood echoed these concerns, emphasizing the gravity of North Korea’s provocations. Wood stated that the provocations by North Korea and Iran threaten both the Indo-Pacific and Middle East regions and have reached catastrophic levels.

North Korean and Russian representatives defended their actions, indirectly confirming the troop deployment. Kim Song, North Korea’s Ambassador to the UN, argued that the key issue is Ukraine’s missile attacks on Russian territory that began in June, supported by Western military aid, including tanks and fighter jets.

Kim stated that North Korea and Russia have the right to strengthen bilateral relations across various fields, including politics, economics, military, and culture. He added that a corresponding response would be necessary if Russia’s security is threatened.

Russia’s Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia echoed this stance, accusing the West of hypocrisy. He argued that while the U.S. and NATO openly provide military support and intelligence to Zelenskyy’s government in Ukraine, they assert that Russia and its allies lack the right to do the same.

The exchange concluded with Wood issuing a stark warning, “Should DPRK’s troops enter Ukraine in support of Russia, they will surely return in body bags.”
