Ukrainian Magazine Praises Kim Jong Il
Pyongyang, May 18 (KCNA) -- The Ukrainian magazine Volontor No. 2 carried an article titled "Shining Star over Mt. Paektu" illustrated with a portrait of smiling General Secretary Kim Jong Il.

The whole world was greatly shocked by the scenes showing Korean people bidding last farewell to Kim Jong Il, the magazine said, and went on:

True were the tears shed by the Korean people in grief over the loss of the great father of the nation.

He was the tender-hearted father from whom the Korean people could not live separated even a moment. It is by no means fortuitous that they called him "great general", "great leader," "father of the people" and "lodestar of national reunification."

At a time when the imperialists' moves to stifle the DPRK reached an extreme pitch, he powerfully aroused the Korean people to build a thriving socialist nation under the uplifted banner of Songun.

After he passed away, the U.S. expected a certain change from the DPRK but in vain.

The DPRK has a weapon called single-minded unity more powerful than A-bomb, which can hardly be found in other countries.

The U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK are bound to go bust as long as it is under supreme leader Kim Jong Un who has invariably carried forward the cause of Kim Jong Il.
