Russian Public Figures Support DPRK's Stand
Pyongyang, March 20 (KCNA) -- Russian public figures issued statements on March 7 in protest against the U.S. and the south Korean authorities' moves against the DPRK.

Viktor Yegorov, chairman of the Karelia-DPRK Friendship Association of Russia, said the Korean Peninsula has become the biggest hotspot in the world due to the U.S.-south Korea joint military drills.

The chairman went on:

Even if the U.S. ignites a war against the DPRK, it will never be able to break the single-minded unity of the army and people of the DPRK under the Songun leadership of the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un and overpower the country's invincible military capability.

The association vehemently denounces the U.S.-south Korea joint military maneuvers disturbing peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the rest of Asia.

The Korean people will always emerge victorious as they have Marshal Kim Jong Un at the head of the party, state and army.

Ivan Slukhai, chairman of the Committee of the War Veterans of Moscow, said:

The nuclear test conducted by the DPRK to cope with the U.S. hostile action was a just measure of a sovereign state for self-defence.

The U.S.-south Korea joint military drills are military provocations against the DPRK and undisguised drills for a war of aggression.

The committee extends full support and solidarity to the Korean people in their struggle for defending the country's sovereignty.

The UN Security Council should not toe the U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK but take issue with the U.S. hostile policy toward it, to begin with.
