As North Korea dispatched special forces forces to help Russia's war in Ukraine, politicians condemned it all at once.

They said it was an act that threatened peace with the international community, but there was a difference in temperature over the government's stance on North Korea and diplomacy.

Reporter Lim Sung-jae's report.

The people's power strongly condemned the news of North Korea's decision to send a large-scale war to Ukraine as a clear threat to South Korea and the international community.

Listing a series of provocations, such as spraying garbage balloons and blasting inter-Korean roads, he raised his voice that there should be a thorough defense posture.

[Kim Yeon-ju / Spokesperson for People's Power: We ask you to be prepared to face the reality of security that is more severe than ever before, be prepared to defend yourself in airtight manner and immediately respond to reckless actions]

Representative Han Dong-hoon also expressed concern about the possibility that key source technologies such as ICBM re-entry technologies will be provided to North Korea in exchange for participation in North Korea-Russia relations, where the "military alliance" has been confirmed.

In particular, he warned that he would not sit idly by any provocations against North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who recently made threats against the South over the map of Seoul.

As soon as the Democratic Party of Korea learned of North Korea's dispatch, it convened members of the National Assembly's National Defense Committee and Intelligence Committee late at night to check the security situation.

After the meeting, it was made clear that North Korea's decision to dispatch troops was a dangerous "devastation" that threatened world peace.

[Kim Byung-joo / Democratic Party member (18th): The military alliance between North Korea and Russia has become a reality. As a member of the international community, North Korea strongly condemns the dangerous participation in the war that threatens world peace.]

The party has also decided to push for a resolution calling for a "stop of sending troops to North Korea" and a "stop of Russia's war."

At the same time, the ruling and opposition parties criticized North Korea, but the government's stance on North Korea and diplomacy revealed a difference of opinion.

While the People's Power highlighted the emergency security conference presided over by the President and stated that it actively supports the government's response and action in the future,
In the
Democratic Party, there was an opinion that the Moon Yoon Suk Yeol administration's value diplomacy centered on South Korea, the U.S., and Japan exposed the problem.

As a result of antagonizing Russia, which should have maintained an appropriate interval, it returned to the negative result of 'close contact with North Korea.'

There are many predictions that the battle between the ruling and opposition parties will intensify over the relationship between the government's North Korea and foreign policy and close ties to North Korea and Russia over the battlefield pattern and future provocations after the dispatch of North Korea.
