Ukraine’s U.N. Ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya responded: “None of the countries that provide assistance to Ukraine is under Security Council sanctions.” “Receiving assistance from the fully-sanctioned North Korea is a brazen violation of the U.N. Charter,” he added. “Sending the DPRK troops to support Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine is a flagrant violation of international law.”

    Oh? Maybe because you’re waging an illegal war against a sovereign country? But if North Korea can send troops, then surely the West can too?

    flagrant violation of international law.

    I think this is the most important nuance around this whole genocidal cluster fuck. What does international law mean if any one country can just fucking ignore it?

        Which is also why the post cold war world order was doomed to fail. The only remaining super power not choosing the moral high ground severely damaged any prospects at a longer lasting peace.

        “Rules for thee but not for me” also has an adverse effect in geopolitics, not only at work, school or any organization.

    If NK soldiers are fighting with Russians, can we send an equivalent number of US soldiers to fight with the Ukrainians? How’d ya like them apples?
