Press Statement by Department Director of Ministry of National Defence of DPRK

Pyongyang, April 29 (KCNA) -- The director of the Department of Foreign Military Affairs of the Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) issued the following press statement "Ill-advised option will be followed by disaster" on April 28:

The U.S. has secretly supplied long-range missiles to Ukraine, sparking off uneasiness and concern of the international community.

A spokesman for the U.S. Department of State said on April 24 that the U.S. transferred ATACMS army tactical missiles with a range of 300 km to Ukraine under a presidential directive early in March and did not make public the fact from an operational point of view.

The U.S. administration, which had kept itself aloof from the delivery of long-range missiles, saying that it did not encourage Ukraine's strike on the Russian mainland, has betrayed more clearly its true colors as a harasser of peace aggravating war by providing Ukraine with such missiles.

The U.S. has stepped up its military aids to Ukraine since the outbreak of the Ukrainian war, as evidenced by its transfer of depleted uranium bombs, cluster bombs and MBTs to the Zelenskiy regime. This time it has adopted such a mean policy as offering even long-range missiles for attacking the Russian territory to their lackeys in a bid to turn the tide of the war recently running against them more seriously than ever.

Long-range missiles offered by the U.S. will never tip the scale in favor of Ukraine on the battlefield but result in fanning the reckless confrontational hysteria of the Zelenskiy puppet clique.

The current U.S. administration boasts that its supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine will make the U.S. safer but it is a matter of time for the world to see the U.S. getting more vulnerable and Washington's defeat on the Ukrainian battlefield.

The U.S. can never defeat the heroic Russian army and people with any latest weaponry or military support. -0-
