The United States, EU, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, and United Kingdom issued a joint statement condemning North Korea's deployment of troops to Russia for potential use against Ukraine.

The DPRK's direct support for Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, besides showing Russia's desperate efforts to compensate its losses, would mark a dangerous expansion of the conflict, with serious consequences for European and Indo-Pacific peace and security

The signatories emphasized that such actions by Moscow and Pyongyang would be a further breach of international law, including the most fundamental principles of the UN Charter

DPRK soldiers receiving or providing any training or other assistance related to the use of ballistic missiles or arms is a direct violation of UN Security Council resolutions 1718, 1874 and 2270

The countries are deeply concerned about the potential for any transfer of nuclear or ballistic missile-related technology from Russia to the DPRK in violation of the relevant UNSCRs

The signatories reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to support Ukraine as it defends its freedom, sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity

G7 and allies issued a statement on November 6, 2024, condemning Russian-North Korean military cooperation and expressing concern over DPRK troop deployment.
