A New “Axis of Evil” Is Forming: Will Ukraine File a Case Against Kim Jong-un in the International Court?

A new “axis of evil” is forming: will Ukraine sue Kim Jong-un in the International Court? Natalia Belzetskaya

North Korea is becoming a direct participant in the war against Ukraine and is helping Vladimir Putin with manpower. President Volodymyr Zelensky said that our country may file a request for the arrest of DPRK leader Kim Jong-un in the International Criminal Court.

Ivan Us, Chief Consultant at the National Institute for Strategic Studies, told Channel 24 that this could indeed be done, if only to test the reaction of other countries. However, it is unlikely that we will see any effect.

A Decisive Response Is Needed

The world should focus more attention on the fact that a modern “axis of evil” is being formed, consisting of Russia, North Korea, and partly Iran. After all, Iran supports the aggressor country, but its anti-Western position is not strong enough to enter into an alliance with it.

Our partners need to be told that Russia and the DPRK are getting closer. Although I remind you that Russia, as a member of the UN Security Council, imposed sanctions on North Korea. And now the situation is that a country – a permanent member of the Security Council – itself violates the sanctions for which it once voted, – emphasized Ivan Us.

Therefore, even psychologically, it is necessary to push the idea of ​​​​forming an “axis of evil”. The world must understand that there will be no peace unless the leaders of these countries are treated as criminals or arrested at all.

We see that even despite the fact that there is a warrant from the International Criminal Court for Putin, this does not mean that Russia is included in the “black” or at least “gray” list. Certain agreements with this country are constantly taking place, – added Ivan Us.

Unfortunately, we once again recall the glory of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who said that Europe needs to decide – is it for money or for principles. Because now, even despite the declarative principles, some countries still want to trade with those who not only violate them, but undermine them.
