North Korea further stated,

“There is no bigger mistake than the United States believing that its land is safe across the ocean”.

Russia and China remain committed to a joint policy which urges North Korea to cease its weapons tests while urging South Korea and the United States to cease their own weapons tests and military drills which continue to take place on South Korean soil. Russia and China also continue to call for the removal of America’s THAAD missile systems from South Korea.
