Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that he does not rule out the fact that he will send weapons to help North Korea. Such statements caused “incredible anxiety” in Washington.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said this during a briefing. According to him, such actions will lead to destabilization in the region, reports Channel 24.

Washington reacted to possible weapons of the DPRK

Miller, on behalf of the US State Department, expressed serious concern about Russian President Vladimir Putin's threats to provide weapons to Pyongyang. The US has warned that such a move could potentially destabilize the Korean Peninsula.

This is incredibly worrying. Of course, this would destabilize the Korean Peninsula and potentially, depending on the type of weapons they provide, could violate UN Security Council resolutions supported by Russia itself,” a US State Department official said.

Miller stressed that the United States is committed to working with key allies in the region, such as South Korea and Japan, to overcome the ongoing threat from North Korea. In addition, according to the State Department representative, the United States and allies will give a worthy rebuff to any actions of the DPRK.

• The agreement signed by Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un obliges each side to provide immediate military assistance to the other in the event of armed aggression against one of them. We are talking about armed assistance.
