North Korea "will accelerate the appearance of anti-U.S. solidarity"...Justification for sending troops to Russia?

[Anchor]
North Korea has threatened that countries that participate in the newly formed sanctions monitoring system centered on South Korea, the U.S., and Japan will surely pay for it.

He argued that it would speed up the emergence of a global anti-American solidarity, which has not yet been officially acknowledged, but some analysts say it is intended to justify sending troops to Russia.

This is a statement issued by North Korean Foreign Minister Choi Sun-hee.

The new sanctions monitoring system, the Multinational Sanctions Monitoring Team, called the MSMT illegal and illegal, and accused countries that participated in it of paying for it.

MSMT, which was recently launched by 11 countries, including South Korea, the U.S., and Japan, is an outside-U.N. organization that replaces the expert panel under the U.N. Security Council's North Korea Sanctions Committee, which ended its activities in April due to Russia's refusal to extend its term.

Foreign Minister Choi argued that such U.S.-led sanctions against North Korea are by no means a new experience, but a threat that shakes the foundation of international relations.

At the same time, he threatened that if the U.S. tried to move the world with coercion and tyranny, it would speed up the emergence of a global anti-American solidarity.

North Korea has remained silent on related issues even after the official confirmation of our intelligence authorities' dispatch of troops to Russia, which analysts say is intended to justify sending troops to Russia.

North Korea is continuously trying to make an issue by repeatedly mentioning the U.S. responsibility for the alleged invasion of Pyongyang by South Korean drones.

A day earlier, it was claimed that the remains of a drone similar to a South Korean drone were found in Pyongyang, but experts do not think it is likely.

[Kim Dae-young / Researcher of the Korea National Institute for Strategic Studies (YTN NewsWide): It's hard to deny the possibility, but based on the pictures, there are many drones that our military is using, so it's possible that they copied them because they've already been disclosed in the media]

In the meantime, North Korea resumed its balloon provocation against the South in eight days, sending more than 20 trash balloons back toward the South.
