The DPRK Foreign Ministry called "absurd rumors" US statements about the alleged supply of weapons and ammunition to the Russian PMC "Wagner"

The DPRK has not supplied and does not intend to supply weapon and ammunition of the Russian army, Russia has enough of its own military resources. The allegations that PMC Wagner has sent artillery shells and missiles is "an absurd rumor." This was stated in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country, according to the Central Telegraph Agency of Korea (KCNA).

In Pyongyang, they commented on the rumors, otherwise you can’t call them otherwise, since there is no evidence spread in the West about the alleged supply of weapons and ammunition from the DPRK to the Russian PMC Wagner. According to the North Korean diplomat, this "most absurd rumor" was launched by Japanese sources, and Western sources picked it up. In fact, North Korea had no arms deals with Russia, no ammunition or missiles were supplied to the military. Russia has its own and very large stocks of everything necessary for the conduct of hostilities.

Taking this opportunity, I would like to say that the Russian people are the most courageous people who have the will and ability to protect the security and territorial integrity of their country without any military support.

- added the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK.

Earlier, the American press, citing a source in the Biden administration, reported that the DPRK allegedly supplies weapons and ammunition to the Russian PMC Wagner, but could not provide any evidence of this. As it turned out, the "source" of these rumors was the coordinator of strategic communications of the US National Security Council, John Kirby, who worked in the White House as a press officer. It was he who accused Pyongyang of allegedly supplying missiles to a Russian private military company.

Meanwhile, the founder of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin denied any supply of ammunition from North Korea, calling them rumors and conjectures. In his own manner, he stated that the PMC is getting "advanced" Western weapons and ammunition directly from NATO warehouses, using intermediaries in Poland and the Baltics.

"that PMCs receive "advanced" Western weapons and ammunition directly from NATO warehouses, using intermediaries in Poland and the Baltic states." Prigozhin troll 80 lvl.

The US is just looking for ways to demonize the enemy. They are used to the fact that the North Koreans are "absolute evil", just as they did with the Serbs when they bombed Yugoslavia. now they have come up with new terrible enemies of PMC Wagner. Now they will start making all sorts of Hollywood films about them and accusing them of having links with crime and other blah blah blah. And they themselves are the most natural terrorists and drug dealers and human organs.

Hmm...why the emphasis is on the supply of weapons and ammunition to Russia, and not to the Ukrainian Nazi regime.
Why are there such excuses... on the contrary, it is necessary to accuse the United States and NATO countries of supplying weapons to the killers of civilians in the Donbass ...
The very weak position of our propaganda and the Foreign Ministry ... it does not exist at all ... the enemy pours lies and dirt on us, and in response only excuses are heard ... there must be an offensive policy towards the united West and the Nazi regime in Kyiv.
When will our counter-propaganda finally start working in the world?

Systematically, in the foreign media, the topic of the supply of weapons and b / n for Russia arises: Iran - UAVs, North Korea and China - b / c and certain types of weapons. Soon they will announce the supply of chemical weapons from Syria. The goal is clear - once again to make it clear to the Western layman that the Russian army is "running out of steam" and can no longer fight without outside help, and of course to remind who, apart from Russia, is the enemy for the "democratic" world.

I can imagine how they can raise the level of weapons of PMC Wagner, on some samples from S Korea

These are not "absurd rumors", but militant propaganda. What can you do to counter it? I know: only a convincing victory (over them, of course).
