South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol issued a sharp warning Wednesday about growing Russia-North Korea strategic ties, telling the U.N. General Assembly that Seoul and its allies “will not stand idly by” if Moscow is helping Pyongyang advance its nuclear weapons program.
In a speech to the annual gathering of international leaders a week after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on a rare trip to Russia, Mr. Yoon stressed that the world should be closely monitoring the situation.
The South Korean president expressed specific frustration Wednesday that Russia, a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, is now seen to be openly pursuing weaponry from North Korea, which has built a ballistic missile and nuclear weapons arsenal in violation of unanimous Security Council resolutions.
The council is widely seen to have been hamstrung by divisions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for the past 18 months.
