Kim Jong Un wants to expand North Korea's nuclear forces

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reiterated calls for an "unlimited" expansion of the country's military nuclear program to, he said, counter threats from the United States and other countries, the state agency said on Monday. of North news.

At a briefing with military officials on Friday, Kim condemned the United States' decision to update the joint nuclear defense strategy with South Korea, as well as to strengthen trilateral military cooperation with the South and Japan.

He described this cooperation as the "Asian NATO" which is increasing tensions and instability in the region. Kimi criticized the United States even though it is supporting Ukraine, which is fighting the invasion by Russia.

He even said that Washington and its Western allies are using Ukraine as "elite troops" to wage war against Moscow and expand US military influence, North Korea's state news agency KCNA said.

In recent months, Kimi has made strengthening relations with Russia a priority.

Washington, Seoul and Kiev say more than 10,000 North Korean soldiers are in Russia to support the Kremlin in its war against Ukraine, and that some of them are involved in fighting in Kursk, the Russian region bordering Ukraine.

Kim has yet to directly admit that he is supplying military equipment and troops to Russia to support its war against Ukraine.

Kim has used Russia's war in Ukraine as a distraction to accelerate the development of his nuclear-armed military, which now has various nuclear weapons systems targeting South Korea and intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reach the USA./ REL
