South Korea's Ministry of Defense: North Korea's ”self-admitted” dispatch of troops to Russia ”admitted to criminal acts”

South Korea's Ministry of National Defense said North Korea's first official admission of sending troops to Russia was a "self-admission of a criminal act."
A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense said at a press conference on the 28th that "North Korea's participation in the Ukraine war was in accordance with the UN Charter.
"This is a clear illegal act that violates Security Council resolutions," he said, adding, "Officially admitting this is also an admission of criminal conduct."
He continued, "Our military, together with the international community, strongly condemns these inhumane and illegal acts."
The South Korean government stated, "Article 2, paragraph 4 of the UN Charter states, 'All Members shall have no right in their international relations to regard as inconsistent with the territorial integrity or political independence of other states, or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations.'
Therefore, Russia's invasion of Ukraine is itself a violation of international law, and therefore North Korea's dispatch of troops to Russia is also a violation of international law, regardless of the Russia-North Korea Treaty.
"This is a violation of the UN sanctions resolution against North Korea," the Workers' Party newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, said on the 28th, "The Workers' Party Central Military Commission announced that 'Ukrainian incursion into Russian territory has violated our sovereignty.
He praised the North Korean military for its heroic feat in the operation to crush the enemy and liberate the Kursk region.
