NATO ‘strongly condemns’ North Korea arms exports to Russia for Ukraine war

Joint statement stresses cooperation with South Korea and Japan, while Yoon announces Germany applied to join UN Command

NATO leaders condemned North Korean arms exports to Russia for use in its “war of aggression” against Ukraine in a joint statement on Wednesday, kicking off a major summit in Washington that looks to bolster the alliance's ties with South Korea, Japan and other Indo-Pacific partners.

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol also called attention to North Korean threats in a series of bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the event, while welcoming Germany’s application to join the U.N. Command (UNC) that oversees the Korean War armistice.
