North Korea voiced support Tuesday for Russia's annexation of areas of Ukraine that its troops occupy, and accused the US and its allies of acting like a gangster by leading a drive at the UN against Moscow's behavior.
North Korean Foreign Minister Jo Chol Su defended those referendums on joining Russia as perfectly legitimate and"held in keeping with the UN Charter laying down the principles of the equality of peoples," the state run KCNA news agency said. North Korea is an ally of Russia. FILE PHOTO
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Moscow had annexed four areas of Ukraine which held Kremlin-organized referendums on land seized by Russia's military. But North Korean Foreign Minister Jo Chol Su defended those referendums on joining Russia as perfectly legitimate and "held in keeping with the UN Charter laying down the principles of the equality of peoples," the state run KCNA news agency said. North Korea is an ally of Russia.
Russia on Friday vetoed a US-led bid at the UN Security Council to condemn its annexations. It got no support for the veto, with China and India abstaining.
