Ukraine's Foreign Ministry condemns North Korea's rocket launch
Ukraine has strongly condemned the unacceptable and provocative actions by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea related to the launch of the so-called artificial satellite Kwangmyongsong-4 on February 7, 2016, which might be a disguised ballistic missile test, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued on Monday.
"Regardless of the actual aim, the launch [of Kwangmyongsong-4] followed shortly after the nuclear tests in early January, and is a direct violation of the UN Security Council Resolutions 1695, 1718, 1874, 2094, as well as other relevant documents. Pyongyang's irresponsible actions seriously degrade security situation on the Korean peninsula, undermining regional peace and stability ", the statement said.
The Foreign Ministry noted that Ukraine will continue to cooperate with its partners, in particular the UN Security Council members in order to respond to this challenge, also urging Pyongyang to further "refrain from such actions and return to the implementation of the relevant UN Security Council resolutions."
