Seoul threatens North Korea with international court over troop dispatch to Russia.

South Korea condemned North Korea's decision to send its troops to Russia and warns of consequences for the North Koreans. This was stated by South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yong.

We strongly condemn the illegal actions of Russia and North Korea and want to make it clear that they will have consequences.

According to the minister, North Korea must recognize that it can be held accountable under international criminal law depending on the specific actions of its troops.

We cannot conduct business relations with Russia as long as it continues its illegal invasion of Ukraine, violating the UN Charter and international law.

The minister believes that North Korea wants to take advantage of the regime change in the US to carry out a major provocation.
