The secret will become equal
The DPRK is close to complete the creation of nuclear forces, despite international sanctions. This was stated by the leader of North Korea Kim Jong -un, the Yuzhno Korean agency Yonhapreports with reference to the CST.
“Our final goal is to achieve the actual parity of forces with the United States,” the North Korean leader said. “We must clearly show the great -power chauvinists, like our state, despite their inorganic sanctions and blockade, reaches a goal.” According to Tsak, on Friday Kim Jong-un personally commanded the Hwasong-12 missile, which flew over the Japanese Hockey Island towards the Pacific Ocean.
On Friday, the UN Security Council held an emergency closed meeting. Members of the Council of Security of the North Korean missile regarded the launch of the “very provocative” and called for “completely and immediately” to fulfill all the resolution related to the DPRK.
At the same time, the Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya called the situation with the sanctions against the DPRK a “vicious circle”, from which there is only one way out - political and diplomatic. “Unfortunately, we are in a vicious circle from which we can’t escape. The next sanctions resolution is behind the next tests. There is another test behind the sanctions resolution. We emphasized, emphasize and continue to emphasize that there is no way out of the North Korean crisis, except for political and dummy,” he said according to the results of the SB UN meeting.
“The military decision is unacceptable,” the Nebenzya emphasized. “The Americans understand this. And I hope the American authorities understand this.”
On Friday, the North Korean missile launched from the vicinity of Pyongyang, overcame a distance of 3700 km , rising to a height of 770 km. At the same time, the rocket flew over the Northern Japanese Island of Hokkaido and fell into the Pacific Ocean about 2 thousand km from the banks of Japan. A missile alarm was declared on Hokkaido.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appealed to all countries to take new measures against the North Korean regime. "The ongoing provocations only deepen the diplomatic and economic isolation of North Korea," he said. Tillerson separately called on Russia and China to take specific measures against the DPRK. “China and Russia must declare its intolerance to these reckless missile launches, taking direct actions on its part,” Tillerson said. “China supplies North Korea most of its oil, and Russia is the largest exploiting northern Koreans forced labor.”
On Tuesday, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution on tightening sanctions against North Korea in response to the sixth nuclear test conducted by the DPRK on September 3 . The document imposes a ban on the purchase of North Korean textile products. In addition, the resolution prohibits the sale of gas condensates to the country of gas products to the supply of oil products to the DPRK. By the end of this year, North Korea will be able to purchase a maximum of 500 thousand barrels, and later deliveries will be limited by 2 million barrels a year. Currently, the DPRK consumes 4.5 million barrels per year.
The UN Member countries are prohibited from issuing new work permits for DPRK citizens, except when it is about humanitarian assistance or denoclialization programs. The resolution allows you to inspect the court in the open sea in case of suspicion of transporting prohibited goods to North Korea or from it. However, such an inspection should occur with the permission of the countries under the flags of which they go.
Initially, the United States insisted on a more stringent version of the resolution. In the American draft document, it was about the total embargo for oil and the freezing of assets of the North Korean leadership abroad. However, China sharply opposed this.
On September 5, Russian President Vladimir Putin at a press conference in China stated that the DPRK would not refuse to develop nuclear weapons under the pressure of sanctions, as he considers this program a security issue. "Yes, they, as I said at a meeting with my colleagues yesterday, will eat grass, you see, but they will not refuse this program if they do not feel safe." Therefore, according to the president, the use of any kind of sanctions will be "useless and ineffective."
