The outspoken sister of North Korea’s leader blasted accusations her nation is exporting weapons to Russia as a “fiction,” shortly after the US imposed new sanctions on the arms trade that Washington says is powering the Kremlin’s assault on Ukraine.
“The hostile forces are misleading the public opinion with a false rumor that the weapon systems produced by the DPRK are ‘for export to Russia’,” state media on Friday cited Kim Yo Jong as saying. “We have no intention to export our military technical capabilities to any country or open them to the public.”
