@Q&A with a White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby and Janne Pak at the White House Press Briefing on May 6, 2024.

Regarding Russia's supply of refined petroleum to North Korea, the White House said, "The total shipments from overseas, including Russian shipments, have exceeded the UN-mandated annual cap of 500,000 barrels. Given that Russia shipped more than 165,000 barrels to the DPRK in March alone, it would not take long for Russian exports alone to exceed the UN cap.

미 백악관은 러시아가 북한에 정제유 공급에 관해 “러시아 선적을 포함해 해외로부터의 총 선적량이 유엔이 정한 연간 한도인 50만 배럴을 넘어섰다.”면서 “러시아가 3월에만 북한에 165,000배럴 이상을 수출했다는 점을 고려하면, 러시아 단독 수출량이 유엔 한도를 초과하는 데는 그리 오랜 시간이 걸리지 않을 것이다.“고 밝혔다.

The UN Security Council limited North Korea's refined petroleum imports to 500,000 barrels per year through Resolution 2397 on North Korea adopted in 2017.

유엔 안보리는 지난 2017년 채택한 대북 결의 2397호를 통해 북한의 정제유 수입 한도를 연간 50만 배럴로 제한한 바 있다.

On the 2nd, National Security Communications Advisor Kirby revealed specific figures at a briefing, saying, “The amount of refined petroleum provided by Russia to North Korea this year has already exceeded the limit set by the UN Security Council.”

지난 2일 커비 국가안보 소통보좌관은 브리핑에서 “러시아가 올해 북한에 제공한 정제유 양이 이미 유엔안보리가 정한 한도를 넘었다.”고 구체적인 수치를 공개했었다.

As a follow-up background to my question after today's briefing, Michael Feldman, Director of Strategic Communications for the White House National Security Council, said, “Considering that Russia shipped more than 165,000 barrels to North Korea in March alone, Russia's export volume alone exceeds the UN ceiling. “It won’t take long to exceed that,”

오늘 브리핑이 끝난후 나의 질문에 관한 후속 배경설명으로 Michael Feldman 백악관 국가안보회의 전략 소통관은 “러시아가 3월에만 북한에 16만 5천 배럴 이상을 선적했다는 점을 감안하면 러시아의 수출량만으로도 유엔 상한선을 초과하는 데 그리 오랜 시간이 걸리지 않을 것”이다고 밝혔다.

At the White House briefing today (6th), in response to my question, “What is the supply of refined oil to North Korea that exceeds the annual limit set by the United Nations for January and February, not March?” Kirby responded, “I will have take to that question and get back to you. I didn't bring the barrels that with me today.”

오늘(6일) 백악관 브리핑에서 “유엔이 정한 연간 한도를 초과한 대북 정제유 공급에 대해 3월이 아닌 1월과 2월에 대한 공급량이 무엇이냐?”는 나의 질문에, 커비는 “오늘은 베럴에 대해 가져오지 않았다며 질문을 가져가 자세한 내용을 다시 알려주겠다.”고 답변했다.

Meanwhile, in response to the question, “Will you also impose sanctions on China, including Russia, for violating the refined petroleum supply limit?” he said, “We want everybody to enforce the sanctions that are against North Korea appropriately and consistently, and not everybody does, and North Korea has benefited from sanctions evasions by countries in the region and beyond the region." And he added "Regarding additional sanctions, more details will be revealed later."

한편, “정제유 공급한도 위반을 한 러시아를 포함해 중국도 제재를 가할것이냐?“는 질문에는 ”우리는 모두가 대북제재를 적절하고 일관되게 이행하기를 원한다”고 말하면서 “모두가 다 그렇게 하고 있는 건 아니다”라며 “북한은 역내 국가들과 역외 국가들의 제재 회피로부터 이익을 얻고 있다”고 지적했다. 그러면서 추가 제재와 관련해 “추후 더 자세한 내용을 밝힐 것이다.”고 말했다.

*For more details, Please see the Q&A from White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby and Janne Pak at the White House Press Briefing on May 6, 2024.

(자세한 내용은 아래 존 커비 백악관 국가안보 소통보좌관과 제니 박 기자의 질의응답을 참고하십시오.)

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): I just want to make it clear that regarding the limit on refined petroleum provided by Russia to North Korea: The annual refined petroleum limit under UN sanctions against North Korea is 500,000 barrels. last week you said that the limit was exceeded at 165,000 barrels in March alone. So how many barrels were supplied in January and February?

러시아가 북한에 제공하는 정제유 한도와 관련해 제가 확인하고 싶은 것은 유엔의 대북 제재에 따른 연간 정제유 한도는 50만 배럴입니다. 지난주에 귀하는 3월에만 한도가 16만5000배럴로 초과됐다고 말했습니다. 그렇다면 1월과 2월에는 몇 배럴이 공급되었습니까?

A:(MR KIRBY):  I will have to take that question and get back to you. I didn't bring the barrel data with me today.

그 질문을 받아들여서 다시 연락을 드리겠습니다. 오늘은 배럴 데이터를 가져오지 않았습니다.

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): State Department Spokesperson Miller said Sanctions against this will be imposed this month. And a North Korean oil tanker sanctioned by the UN is currently staying in Chinese waters. Is China included in these sanctions? Or will only Russia be sanctioned?

밀러 국무부 대변인은 이에 대한 제재가 이번 달에 부과될 것이라고 말했습니다. 그리고 유엔의 제재를 받은 북한 유조선이 현재 중국 해역에 정박하고 있습니다. 중국도 이번 제재 대상에 포함되나요? 아니면 러시아만 제재를 받게 될까요?

A:(MR KIRBY): We want everybody to enforce the sanctions that are against North Korea appropriately and consistently, and not everybody does, and North Korea has benefited from sanctions evasions by countries in the region and beyond the region.

우리는 모두가 대북 제재를 적절하고 일관되게 집행하기를 원하지만 모든 사람이 그렇게 하는 것은 아니며 북한은 북한은 지역내 국가들과 지역외 국가들의 제재 회피로부터 이익을 얻고 있었습니다.(끝)

"North Korea uranium enrichment facility revealed_ ”The United States continues to strive for complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula." @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on September 13, 2024. Regarding the disclosure of North Korea's uranium enrichment facilities, the U.S. State Department emphasized that U.S. policy will remain unchanged and that efforts will continue to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula. The White House also said in response, “This is why we have invested more reconnaissance assets on the Korean Peninsula, and we are continuing to monitor North Korea’s nuclear ambitions.” 미국무부는 북한의 우라늄 농축시설 공개에 대해 미국의 정책은 변함이 없다면서 한반도 비핵화를 위한 노력을 지속할 것임을 강조했다. 백악관도 이에 대해 “한반도에 정찰자산을 더 투입한 이유가 여기에 있다면서 북한의 핵 야망을 계속 감시하고 있다.”고 밝혔다. The State Department also responded to North Korea and Russia's attempts to interfere in the U.S. presidential election through provocations, saying, "We oppose any country that takes steps to interfere with our democratic process," and added, "We will take steps...

(9-5-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on September 5, 2024. The war between Russia and Ukraine is raging again. Recently, Ukraine has been launching an onslaught against Russia, but is not producing any promising results. 러시아와 우크라이나 전쟁이 다시 치열하게 이어지고 있다. 최근 우크라이나는 러시아에 맹공을 퍼붇고 있지만 그럴싸한 결과를 내지 못하고 있다. Recently, Ukrainian President Zelensky publicly stated that he could easily defeat Russia if the United States allows him to use long-range missiles. However, the United States has not yet permitted Ukraine to use long-range weapons. 최근 젤렌스키 우크라이나 대통령은 미국이 장거리 미사일을 사용할수 있도록 허락해 준다면 충분히 러시아를 이길수 있다고 공개적으로 밝혔다. 하지만 미국은 아직 장거리 무기사용을 우크라이나에게 허락하지 않고 있다. Neighboring countries say that the United States' control of weapons in Ukraine could actually become an obstacle. I wonder why the United States provided long-range missiles to Ukraine if Ukraine cannot use long-range weapons. It would be even more ironic if it was only for defense. 주변 이웃국가들은 미국이 우크라이나에 무기를 콘트롤하는 것이 오히려 장애가 될수 있다고 말하고 있다. 우크라이나가 장거리 무기를...

(8-27-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a Pentagon Press Secretary General Pat Ryder and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on August 27, 2024. The Korean Central News Agency reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un recently visited the North Korean National Defense Academy's Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Research Institute and provided local guidance on a strike test of a recently developed unmanned aerial vehicle and ordered the deployment of all-out troops for actual combat as soon as possible. 북한의 리더 김정은이 최근 북한 국방관학원 무인기 연구소를 방문해 최근 개발한 무인기의 타격 시험을 현지지도 하면서 빠른시일내에 실전을 위해 전면 부대 배치를 지시했다고 ‘조선중앙통신’이 보도했다. Kim Jong-un ordered that more strategic reconnaissance and multi-purpose attack drones, as well as various types of suicide-type drones, be developed and produced. It is assessed that if a large number of self-destructive drones, which were revealed for the first time, are sent to South Korea, it could be fatal as it could neutralize Korea's missile defense network. 김정은은 전략정찰 및 다목적 공격형 무인기 뿐만 아니라 각종 자폭형 무인기들도 더 많이 개발 생산해야 한다고 지시했다. 처음으로 공개한 자폭형 무인기를 대량으로 남한으로 보낼 경우 한국의 미사일 방어망을 무력화...
