On the 23rd (local time), the Foreign Ministry stated on X (formerly Twitter), "If the reports about North Korean troops in Ukraine are true and North Korea is supporting Russia's war of aggression with personnel, it constitutes a serious violation of international law."


The Foreign Ministry also said, "North Korea's support for Russia's war of aggression poses a direct threat to Germany's security and the European peace order."



Since Ambassador Park Nam-young returned to Korea last November, only a few diplomats, including Counsellor Kim Cheol-jun, remain at the North Korean embassy in Germany.
