Recently, after research and analysis, the United States and Ukraine claimed to have found evidence that North Korean missiles had entered Russia, and pointed out that Russia had used these missiles to bomb Ukraine. The news sparked global attention, with the United States and Ukraine rallying 47 countries to jointly challenge Russia and North Korea to stop what they called "illegal actions." In response, China's spokesperson Mao Ning responded and called on all parties to cease fire and cease fighting as soon as possible and jointly promote the easing of the situation.
According to reports, these 47 countries jointly demanded that North Korea stop supplying missiles to Russia and demand that Russia stop importing missiles from North Korea. These countries stressed that North Korea's missile assistance to Russia violates international law and Security Council resolutions. However, North Korea has never admitted to sending missiles to Russia, and Russia has not admitted to using North Korean missiles to bomb Ukraine.
It is worth noting that the US-led 47 countries are considered legitimate in providing ** ammunition to Ukraine in order to defend justice. However, the provision of ** by other countries to Russia is considered illegal and in violation of Security Council resolutions. This double standard has aroused widespread doubts and criticism from the international community.
Regarding the actions of the 47 countries, China's spokesperson Mao Ning said that China's position on the Ukraine crisis is consistent. We have always believed that dialogue and negotiation are the only viable way out of the crisis. It is hoped that all parties will cease the fire and cease the fighting as soon as possible and work together to ease the situation. Mao Ning stressed that China's position is to promote peace, not to take the opportunity to maliciously hype up or add fuel to the fire.
Against this background, North Korea's short-range ballistic missiles KN-23 and a rocket artillery KN-25 have also attracted the attention of the international community. According to reports, the KN-23 has the nickname "North Korean version of Iskander", and its strike range may reach almost 700 kilometers, equipped with a 500-kilogram warhead. The KN-25 is a rocket launcher with a caliber of up to 600 mm and a strike range of up to 400 km. The existence and possible use of these ** have undoubtedly exacerbated regional tensions.
In the face of the complex and ever-changing international situation and regional security challenges, all countries should remain rational and restrained, refrain from adding fuel to the fire and not intensifying contradictions. Resolve differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation, and maintain regional peace and stability. At this critical juncture, all countries need to strengthen communication and cooperation to jointly address global challenges and make positive contributions to world peace and development.
As a major country, China will continue to play an active role and make unremitting efforts to promote the peaceful settlement of the Ukraine crisis and maintain regional and world peace and stability. At the same time, we call on the international community to work together to practice true multilateralism and promote the development of a more just and equitable global governance system.
