Officials from the United States, South Korea, and Japan expressed deep concern over North Korea's nuclear and missile threats, as well as its increasing military support for Russia's war in Ukraine. While unable to confirm reports of North Korean soldiers fighting for Moscow, the allies are alarmed by Pyongyang's actions.
The international pressure campaign against North Korea, which had waned in recent years due to divisions at the U.N. Security Council, is set to be reinvigorated. A new multinational team, comprising the US, South Korea, Japan, and eight Western governments, will monitor the enforcement of sanctions against North Korea.
