North Korea in same trench as Russia, West’s tanks will burn in Ukraine: Kim Jong Un’s sister

The Deputy Department Director of the Publicity and Information Department of the Workers.

Party of Korea and sister of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un on Friday made chilling comments about the Russia-Ukraine war.

Kim Yo-jong said that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) will always “stand in the same trench” side by side with the Russian army and people, displaying a deepening alignment with Russia throughout the war in Ukraine, reported news agency TASS.

In a statement released by the KCNA news agency, she said that “people of Russia have stood up to defend the dignity and honor of the state and the sovereignty and security of their country.”

Furthermore, she slammed the US decision to hand over Abrams tanks to Ukraine as “a vile step.” She said the US is escalating a “proxy war” aimed at destroying Moscow, reported Metro.

She also accused the US government of “further crossing the red line” by sending support to Ukraine.

The decision reflects a “sinister intention to realise its hegemonic aim by further expanding the proxy war for destroying Russia,” said Kim Jong-un’s sister, reported Metro, quoting North Korean state media.

“The US is the arch criminal which poses a serious threat and challenge to the strategic security of Russia and pushes the regional situation to the present grave phase. I do not doubt that any military hardware the US and the West boast of will be burnt into pieces in the face of the indomitable fighting spirit and might of the heroic Russian army and people,” she added.

The United States previously accused Pyongyang of supplying weapons to the Wagner Group, Russia’s mercenary army.

The United States on Wednesday (January 25), announced that it will send 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Kiev.

The US decision to send tanks to Ukraine followed Germany’s agreement to send 14 Leopard 2 A6 tanks from its own stocks.
