Reuters cited the position of the Korean Central News Agency, a state agency. The North Korean leader's statement, made last week, was released by authorities following reports from the United States about ATACMS.
On Sunday night, American media reported that President Joe Biden had decided to agree to the use of ATACMS missiles inside Russian territory. The missile has a range of 300 km. So far, Kiev has been able to attack with the HIMARS system with a range of 80 kilometers.
I agree to use ATACMS. North Korea's involvement is also behind the scenes.
US editorialists have noted that the US decision is related to the expected attack in Kursk Oblast and North Korea's actions to send soldiers to Ukraine and support Russia. The use of ATACMS is intended to be a “signal” to North Korea to stop supporting Moscow.
At the same time, Reuters reported on Sunday night (Monday – redacted in North Korea) that a Russian delegation led by Natural Resources Minister Alexander Kozlov arrived in Pyongyang for “trade and economic” talks.
