North Korea said on Sunday (Sept 29) that US (United States) military aid worth $8 billion to Ukraine was an "incredible mistake," adding, that Washington was playing with fire against nuclear superpower Russia. Earlier, US President Joe Biden announced the new aid as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Washington seeking help for Kyiv to defend itself, including longer-range weapons that will upgrade its ability to strike Russia from safer distances. 'US, West should not dismiss...' Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, said that the US was escalating the Ukraine conflict and driving all of Europe to the brink of a nuclear war. "The United States and the West should not dismiss or underestimate Russia's serious warning," Kim said in a statement published by state news agency KCNA. "Are the United States and the West really able to handle the consequences as they recklessly play with fire against Russia, which is a nuclear superpower?," she added. Helping Zelensky continue a military adventure is a dangerous and irresponsible gamble and announcing the new $8 billion in military aid was "an incredible mistake and foolish act," Kim further said. The accusation against Pyongyang North Korea has been illegally supplying weapons to Russia. Both countries have dramatically upgraded their ties in the past year, with their leaders meeting twice and agreeing on a "comprehensive strategic partnership" that includes a mutual defence pledge. The US had recently said that North Korea shipped at least 16,500 containers of weapons to Russia since September last year and Russia has fired missiles from those shipments against Ukraine.
