“Outrageous. A recent examination of a North Korean KN-23/24 missile shot down over Ukraine revealed numerous recently manufactured Western components,” Sibiga wrote.

He added that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un still have access to them. In this regard, the Ukrainian side calls on the West to respond.

“We call on our allies to react decisively, to strengthen sanctions and export controls, to strengthen our air shield,” the minister summarized.
