Kim Song, Permanent Representative of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to the United Nations, issued the following press statement on January 13:
Another unusual meeting was convened in the UN arena today, undermining and sacrificing the sacred name and noble mission of the United Nations, a signpost and an absolute symbol of justice and equality.
The retaliatory blow of Russia was called into question.
The emergency meeting of the UN Security Council convened under Ukraine's unilateral claims never means the international support for the appeal of a "victim".
It is just an extension of the customary practice of the Western cavilers who used to groundlessly slander the just exercise of the right to self-defence of a sovereign state.
The target of denunciation and rejection is the Kiev authorities who committed illegal military terrorist attacks on Russia and those forces who actively patronized them.
I express serious concern about and strongly denounce and reject the shameless acts of Ukraine which covered up its heinous terrorism against Russia and took issue with Russia over its legitimate measures against it.
The Ukrainian crisis was obviously caused by the confrontation policy of the United States and the West which have violated Russia's reasonable and legitimate security interests and escalated NATO's eastward advance.
The responsibility for all the incidents lies entirely with the parties who created the preconditions for them.
The terrorist act targeting the absolute sovereignty of a country can never be justified, and retaliation of justice can never be demonized by any assertion.
The use of military means by the armed forces of the Russian Federation is an expression of its absolute will not to tolerate threats to its national sovereignty and a just exercise of the right for defending its legitimate rights and interests.
Consistent and invariable is the DPRK's stand to fully support the just cause of the Russian Federation for defending the national sovereignty, territorial integrity, security and interests.
The international community should heighten vigilance over the sinister attempt of the West to turn black into white, distort the facts and change the victim and perpetrator, and should make responsible efforts to defend genuine international justice, peace and stability.
