@Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on November 20, 2024.

The war in Ukraine is entering a new phase as President Biden reversed the existing policy and allowed Ukraine to use anti-personnel mines in addition to the use of long-range missiles. The use of anti-personnel mines outside the Korean Peninsula was banned in 2022, but it is unusual for Ukraine to use anti-personnel mines.

바이든 대통령은 기존 정책을 뒤집고 우크라이나가 장거리 미사일사용에 이어 대인지뢰 사용을 허락하면서 우크라이나전쟁이 새로운 국면으로 가고 있다. 2022년 한반도외에 대인지뢰 사용을 금지했는데 우크라이나가 대인지뢰를 사용하게 된 것은 이례적이다.

It was reported on the 20th that the United States closed its embassy in Kiev, Ukraine, in preparation for large-scale Russian supplies. Considering the military agreement between Russia and North Korea, the possibility that not only the Russian military but also the North Korean military could fly Russian fighter jets and participate in airstrikes is not ruled out. This is because North Korean fighter pilots are already deployed to Russia.

미국은 20일 대규모 러시아 공급에 대비해 우크라이나 키이우에 있는 미국 대사관을 폐쇄했다고 보도됐다. 러시아와 북한간의 군사협약으로 볼 때 러시아군 뿐만 아니라 북한군이 러시아 전투기를 몰고 공습에 참여 할 가능성도 배제하지 않고 있다. 북한군 전투기조종사가 이미 러시아에 투입되어 있기 때문이다.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on the 19th, “The war has entered a new phase because the West wants to escalate tensions. Even non-nuclear states can use nuclear weapons with the support of nuclear states.” said. This is a specific statement about Putin's recent revision of the new doctrine to ease the use of nuclear weapons, so the intention is drawing attention.

세르게이 라브로브 러시아 외무장관은 19일 “서방이 긴장을 확대하기를 원하고 있기 때문에 전쟁이 새로운 국면에 들어섰다.”며 “비핵보유국가도 핵국가의 지원을 받아 핵무기를 사용할수 있다.”고 말했다. 이는 최근 푸틴이 핵무기 사용 완화를 위해 새교리 수정을 한데 대한 구체적인 발언이어서 의도에 대해 주목된다.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said in a video conference with the European Parliament, “The number of North Korean troops deployed to the front will increase to 100,000 in the future,” emphasizing the continued support of Ukraine from the United States and its Western allies.

젤렌스키 우크라이나 대통령은 유럽의회 화상회담에서 “앞으로 전선에 투입된 북한군이 10만명으로 늘어날 것.”이라고 밝히면서 미국과 서방등 동맹국들의 계속적인 우크라이나 지원을 강조했다.

As it is known that North Korea's Kim Jong-un will soon visit Russia, the issue of additional troop dispatches between North Korea and Russia is expected to be discussed, and the Russo-Russian war is expected to become more intense.

북한 김정은이 곧 러시아를 방문할것으로 알려지면서 북러간의 추가 파병문제가 논의될 것으로 예측되면서 러우전쟁은 더욱 치열해 질 것으로 예상된다.

In a report to the National Assembly Intelligence Committee, the South Korean National Intelligence Service said, “North Korean troops are deployed to the Russian military and are participating in the war in Ukraine.” It was also revealed, “It has been confirmed that North Korea is providing self-propelled artillery and long-range artillery to Russia in addition to ammunition.”

한국 국정원은 국회정보위원회 보고에서 “북한군이 러시아군에 배치돼 우크라이나 전쟁에 참여하고 있다.”고 밝혔다. 또한 “북한이 러시아에 탄약에 이어 자주포와 장사정포를 제공하고 있는 사실도 확인됐다.”고 공개했다.

The White House and State Department said they were “not surprised” by Russia’s easing of nuclear weapons use. Russia has already mentioned the use of nuclear weapons several times, and it is questionable whether it will actually happen.

백악관과 국무성은 러시아의 핵무기 사용완화에 대해 “놀랍지 않다.”고 말했다. 러시아는 이미 핵사용에 대해 여러번 언급했고 실제 이루어질지에 대해서는 의문이다.

At the State Department briefing today (the 20th, local time), I asked State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller about Ukraine, the North Korean military, and Russia: See below:

오늘(20일, 현지시간) 국무성 브리핑에서 매튜 밀러 국무성 대변인에게 나는 우크라이나와 북한군, 러시아에 관해 질문했다: 아래 참조.

*For more details, Please See the Q&A from State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on November 20, 2024.

(자세한 내용은 아래 매튜밀러 국무성 대변인과 제니 박 기자의 질의응답을 참고하십시오.)

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): Yeah. Ukraine and North Korea. Zelenskyy said that 100,000

North Korean troops would be dispatched. Also, the video shown by Ukraine showed that several North Korean soldiers were killed. How many casualties and wounded have North Korean soldiers suffered so far?

우크라이나와 북한에 관해, Zelenskyy대통령은 북한군이 100,000명 파병 될 것이라고 말했습니다. 또한 우크라이나가 공개한 영상에는 북한군 여러 명이 사망한 모습이 담겼다. 북한군은 지금까지 얼마나 많은 사상자와 부상자가 나왔나요?

A:(MR MILLER): I don’t have an assessment to offer from here.

여기서는 제공할 평가가 없습니다.

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): And second question. The South Korean National Intelligence Service has announced that North Korean troops are being deployed to the Russian army and are participating in the war in Ukraine. It has also confirmed that North Korea is providing Russia with self-propelled artillery and rocket launchers. What do you say about this?

한국 국정원은 북한군이 러시아군에 배치돼 우크라이나 전쟁에 참여하고 있다고 밝혔다. 또한 북한이 러시아에 자주포와 로켓 발사대를 제공하고 있는 사실도 확인됐다. 이것에 대해 뭐라고 말할수 있습니까?

A:(MR MILLER): So I don’t have a further assessment to offer today than what we’ve said in the – in recent days about the deployment of North Korean soldiers to Kursk. We continue to see them in Kursk. We have seen some of them begin to take part in combat operations and that makes them legitimate targets.

그래서 저는 최근 북한군의 쿠르스크 배치에 관해 우리가 말한 것보다 오늘 더 이상 제시할 평가가 없습니다. 우리는 쿠르스크에서 그들을 계속해서 봅니다. 우리는 그들 중 일부가 전투 작전에 참여하기 시작하여 합법적인 표적이 되는 것을 보았습니다.

QUESTION: Thank you.

The U.S. State Department announced on the 5th that it expects the victory of democracy in South Korea. Secretary Blinken, who is visiting the NATO Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Brussels, Belgium, said, “South Korea is an exemplary democratic country,” and “I look forward to peaceful resolution of political differences.” He said and he believes “South Korea has the ability to the resilience democracy.” 미 국무성은 5일 한국의 민주주의 승리를 기대한다고 밝혔다. 벨기에 부르셀에서 나토 외무장관회의를 방문중인 블링컨장관이 “한국은 모범적인 민주주의국가이다.”며 “정치적 이견 차이에도 평화적으로 해결할 것을 기대한다.”고 밝혔다. 그러면서 “한국은 민주주의를 회복할수 있는 능력이 있다.“고 믿는다고 밝혔다. It is fortunate that President Yoon Suk-yeol's martial law declaration was lifted without any armed conflict. Due to the opposition party's legislative monopoly, Korea had no choice but to impose martial law due to the loss of national security and state function. In fact, the leader of South Korea's opposition party is breaking the law and avoiding trial despite committing numerous crimes, and is being investigated for...

While North Korea is known to be supporting Russia with short-range ballistic missiles, it has been reported that it is expanding a key military factory that manufactures missiles in Hamheung, South Hamgyong Province. 북한이 러시아에 단거리 탄도미사일을 지원하는 것으로 알려진 가운데 함경남도 함흥에 미사일을 제작하는 핵심 군수공장을 확장하고 있다고 알려졌다. North Korea is also sending North Korean military personnel to a drone manufacturing factory in Russia and is manufacturing and supplying suicide drones to Russia. 북한은 또한 러시아에 있는 드론 제작공장에 북한군 인력을 보내고 있고 자폭드론을 만들어 러시아에 제공하고 있다.

(11월25일2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) Russia must take responsibility; "Russia is the actual culprit causing ‘security concerns’ in the United States, South Korea, and Japan." @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on November 25, 2024. As the war between Russia and Ukraine reaches its peak, Russia is making its last efforts by including North Korean troops to be sent into the war. 러시아와 우크라이나 전쟁이 최고조를 달리면서 러시아는 전쟁에 투입시킬 북한군까지 포함시켜 마지막 발악을 하고 있다. The U.S. State Department made it clear on the 25th (local time) that “Russia is raising ‘security concerns’ in the United States and South Korea.” and emphasized that “Russia alone is responsible for these very real security concerns.” 미 국무성은 25일(현지시간) “러시아가 미국과 한국 등의 ‘안보 우려’를 불러일으키고 있다는 점을 분명히 밝혔다. 그러면서 ”매우 현실적인 안보 우려에 대한 책임은 러시아에만 있다”고 강조했다. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko said in an interview with Russia's TASS news agency on the 24th (local time), “The Korean government must realize that if South Korean-made weapons are used to kill Russian citizens, Russia-South Korea relations could be completely destroyed.”...
