Ukraine condemns the launch of ballistic missiles of North Korea (DPRK) and calls on the international community to take measures to bring the DPRK to justice.

"Repeating ballistic missile launches by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, in particular outrageous launches of four such missiles on March 6, 2017 is not only a direct violation of the UN Security Council's resolutions, but is a deliberate provocation against existing system of international law. Ukraine strongly condemns such actions of Pyongyang, urges world community to take additional measures to bring the DPRK to justice and in this context expresses its full support to Japan and South Korea," the Foreign Ministry's press-service says in its statement.

The ministry says that current developments show that existing sanctions against North Korea have proven to be insufficient.

"Ukraine confirms its determination to use all possible leverages in its capacity of a non-permanent member of the Security Council in order to return North Korea to the international legal framework," a statement says.
