"U.S. will continue to take action to hold Russia accountable for its actions in Ukraine and North Korea for its support of that war."

@Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on September 3, 2024.

Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister said that they were recently announcing a revision to the nuclear doctrine that would make it easier to use nuclear weapons. Russia, which has been put on the defensive by Ukraine's counterattack, is pulling out the nuclear card against Ukraine again.

We must pay close attention to see what effect Russia will have on nuclear-armed North Korea by lowering the threshold for nuclear use.

러시아 외무차관은 핵무기를 쉽게 사용할수 있는 핵교리 개정안을 최근 발표한다고 말했다. 우크라이나의 반격으로 수세에 몰린 러시아가 우크라이나를 향해 핵 카드를 다시 꺼집어 내고 있다.

러시아가 핵 사용의 문턱을 낮춤으로서 핵을 가진 북한에게 어떤 영향을 끼칠 것인지에 예의주시하며 지켜봐야 한다.

North Korea's Kim Jong-un recently announced that he actively supports Putin's war in Ukraine. North Korea is already providing a large amount of weapons to Russia. Given that the cooperative relationship between North Korea and Russia will continue, we cannot help but be concerned that war in Ukraine or even actions threatening the Korean Peninsula may increase.

북한 김정은은 푸틴의 우크라이나 전쟁을 적극 지지한다고 최근 밝혔다. 북한은 이미 많은량의 무기를 러시아에 제공하고 있다. 북한과 러시아의 협력 관계가 지속적으로 이어질 것으로 볼 때, 우크라이나 전쟁 또는 나아가서 한반도를 위협하는 행동이 증가 할수 있어 우려하지 않을수 없다.

The U.S. State Department repeatedly criticized the arms trade between North Korea and Russia and announced that it would hold North Korea and Russia accountable.

미 국무부는 북러 간 무기 거래를 거듭 비판하면서 북한과 러시아에 대한 책임을 물을 것이라고 밝혔다.

At the State Department briefing today(3rd), Spokesperson Matthew Miller responded to my question, “North Korea’s Kim Jong-un has stated that he will actively support Russia’s war in Ukraine. What impact do you think this will have on nuclear-armed North Korea?”

He said, "We’ve already seen the impact for Ukraine of North Korea supporting that war when it comes to transferring weapons that have shown up on the battlefield," "and we will continue to take action to hold Russia accountable for its actions in Ukraine and to hold North Korea accountable for its support for that war."

매튜 밀러 국무부 대변인은 오늘(3일) 브리핑에서 “북한 김정은이 러시아의 우크라이나 전쟁을 적극 지지하겠다고 밝혔다. 이것이 핵무장한 북한에 어떤 영향을 미칠 것이라고 생각하느냐?”는 나의 질문에, “우리는 이미 북한의 러시아에 대한 전쟁 지원이 우크라이나에 미치는 영향을 봤다”며 북한이 러시아로 이전한 무기가 우크라이나 전쟁에서 활용된 사실을 언급했다.

그러면서 “우리는 우크라이나에서 러시아의 행동에 대한 책임을 묻고, 북한의 전쟁 지원에 대한 책임을 묻기 위해 계속해서 조치를 취할 것”이라고 강조했다.

In a report released on the 3rd, the South Korea Institute for National Strategy analyzed that North Korea supplied about 1.13 million artillery shells worth $540 million to Russia last year. Specifically, it was revealed that it is estimated that 937,500 152mm shells, 187,500 122mm shells, 9 KN-23 shells, and 9 KN-24 shells were provided to Russia.

*The problem is that the UN Security Council North Korea Sanctions Committee has not yet taken any action after its term expires, so attention is being paid to what sanctions will be imposed against North Korea in the future.

한국 국가전략연구원은 3일 발표한 보고서에서 북한이 지난해 러시아에 5억 4천만 달러에 달하는 포탄 약 113만 발을 공급했다고 분석했다. 구체적으로, 152mm 포탄 93만7천500벌, 122mm 포탄 18만7천500발, KN-23 9발, KN-24 9발을 러시아에 제공한 것으로 추산한다고 밝혔다.

*문제는 유엔안보리 대북제제위원회가 임기만료후 어떠한 조치를 아직 취하지 않고 있어 앞으로 어떤 대북제재가 가해질지 귀추가 주목되고 있다.

*For more details, Please See the Q&A from State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on September 3, 2024.

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): Thank you, Matt. Two questions on Russia and North Korea. The Russian deputy foreign minister announced a revision to the nuclear doctrine that includes principles for the possible use of nuclear weapons. How would you react to this?

러시아 외무차관은 핵무기 사용 가능성에 대한 원칙을 포함하는 핵 교리 개정안을 발표했습니다. 이에 대해 귀하는 어떻게 반응하시겠습니까?

A:(MR MILLER): Let me take that question and get you a response.

그 질문을 받아 답변을 드리겠습니다.

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): Okay. Second one. North Korean Kim Jong Un said he would fully support Russia’s war in Ukraine. What impact do you think this will have on a nuclear-armed North Korea?

북한 김정은이 러시아의 우크라이나 전쟁을 적극 지지하겠다고 밝혔다. 이것이 핵무장한 북한에 어떤 영향을 미칠 것이라고 생각하시나요?

A:(MR MILLER): So we’ve already seen the impact for Ukraine of North Korea supporting that war when it comes to transferring weapons that have shown up on the battlefield, and we will continue to take action to hold Russia accountable for its actions in Ukraine and to hold North Korea accountable for its support for that war.

따라서 우리는 전쟁터에 보여진 무기를 이전하는 것과 관련하여 북한이 전쟁을 지원하는 우크라이나에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 이미 확인했습니다. 우리는 러시아가 우크라이나에서 저지른 행동에 대해 책임을 묻고, 북한이 그 전쟁을 지원한 데 대해 책임을 묻도록 계속해서 조치를 취할 것입니다.(끝)

(11-7-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on November 7, 2024 Russia and North Korea are taking actions that go too far. Russia recently conducted new strategic nuclear exercises, and North Korea's Kim Jong-un announced that preparations were completed at the Punggye-ri nuclear facility. 러시아와 북한이 도를 넘는 행동에 나서고 있다. 러시아는 최근 새로운 전략 핵훈련을 실시했으며, 북한 김정은은 풍계리 핵시설에서 준비가 완료됐다고 공개했다. Nuclear cooperation between North Korea and Russia will pose a tremendous threat to the Korean Peninsula and the international community. In particular, it is noteworthy that Russian President Putin is warning the United States that nuclear use is possible. 북한과 러시아의 핵 협력은 한반도와 국제사회에 엄청난 위협을 주게될 것이다. 특히 푸틴 러시아 대통령이 미국을 향해 핵사용도 가능하다고 경고하고 있어 주목된다. Putin is threatening to use nuclear weapons if Russia is decisive in the Ukraine war. Kim Jong-un is also threatening the Korean Peninsula with nuclear weapons, so nuclear cooperation between Russia and North Korea is at a more dangerous level than ever. 푸틴은 우크라이나 전쟁에서 러시아가 결정적일 때 핵사용도 불사하겠다고 어름장을 놓고 있다....

It was reported that 5,000 North Korean soldiers were dispatched to Russia and were heading to Kursk after completing training. Meanwhile, the Secretary General of NATO also announced that he had confirmed the dispatch of North Korean troops. 북한군 5천명이 러시아에 파병된후 훈련을 마치고 쿠르스크로 향하고 있다고 보도됐다. 이런가운데 NATO사무총장도 북한군 파병을 확인했다고 밝혔다. South Korea dispatched a delegation to NATO to discuss sending North Korean troops, and announced that it would also dispatch a delegation to Ukraine to hear a briefing from the Ukrainian government on the specific role of the North Korean military. 한국은 NATO에 대표단을 파견하고 북한군 파병에 관해 논의를 했고 우크라이나에도 대표단을 파견해 북한군에 관한 구체적인 역할에 관해 우크라이나 정부로부터 브리핑을 들을것이라고 밝혔다. Considering the give-and-take military cooperation between North Korea and Russia, there are concerns that if the North Korean military's dispatch to Russia leads to Russia's provision of cutting-edge military technology, the threat to the Korean Peninsula will further increase....

(10-24-2024)   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 October 24, 2024. @Kim Jong-un appears to be visiting the North Korean Strategic Missile(ICBM) unit.  Kim ordered nuclear posture preparation on October 23. It is reported that 2,000 North Korean troops are moving to Kursk, providing clear evidence that North Korean troops are intervening on the Ukrainian front. 북한군 병력이 2천명이 쿠르스크로 이동하고 있다고 보도되면서 북한군이 우크라이나 전선에 개입하고 있다는 확실한 증거를 보여주고 있다. Russian President Putin acknowledged for the first time the deployment of North Korean troops and warned other countries not to interfere with this. In particular, the Russian Ministry of External Affairs warned, “If the Korean government interferes with this and provides weapons to Ukraine, it will pay a heavy price.” 푸틴 러시아 대통령은 북한군 파병을 처음으로 시인하면서, 다른나라들이 이것을 간섭하지 마라고 경고했다. 특히 러시아 외부성은 “만일 한국정부가 이것을 간섭하며 우크라이나에 무기를 지원할 경우 혹독한 대가를 치를 것이다.”고 경고했다. In China, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs dismissed the claim, saying, “We are not aware of the dispatch of North Korean troops.” 중국은 외교부...
