The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine expresses its concern with regard to the
aggressive statements and plans of the DPRK to launch ballistic missiles on
targets in the area of the island of Guam.
In the view
of the Ukrainian Side such Pyongyang’s actions increase the risk of military
conflict in the region of East Asia and threaten international peace and
security.
In this

implementation of the previously adopted UN Security Council resolutions
including 2371 (2017).
