The UN Security Council will vote on additional sanctions against North Korea tomorrow (27th) in our time.

North Korea, which fired three missiles yesterday, has not yet announced the launch today, a day later.



Ahn Jung-sik, a reporter specializing in North Korea, will also tell you the background.

Two days after North Korea fired three ballistic missiles, including an ICBM, the UN Security Council voted on new sanctions against North Korea.



[Choi Young-sam/Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson: The United States has circulated the final version of the new resolution.

It is expected that it will be Friday morning, May 27, our time, but a vote is expected.] The



new sanctions against North Korea include reducing North Korea's oil imports, sanctioning hacking groups linked to North Korea, and smoking cigarettes in North Korea. It is known that it contains content that prohibits export.



However, since China and Russia, which are permanent members of the Security Council, are negative about additional sanctions, it is unlikely that the resolution will be adopted.



Nevertheless, putting the sanctions resolutions on the ballot is largely to pressure the choices of China and Russia in the event of North Korea's additional provocations, such as the 7th nuclear test.



[Choi Young-sam/Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson: As we and the international community work together (for the denuclearization of North Korea), we expect that China and Russia will also continue to make responsible promises.]



North Korea did not report anything related to today, the day after the missile launch .

.



The lack of reports after launching a missile this month seems to be due to the judgment that it is not the fourth performance improvement test of the Hwasong-17 under development, or a military achievement to be proud of externally, such as the launch after repairing a submarine.



While continuing to develop strategic weapons, the launch of the Yun Seok-yeol government or the Korea-US summit is also a political message that is being used as an opportunity to send out a political message. I see it.
