North Korea acknowledged the Russian Crimea
North Korea declared Crimea a Russian region. On Thursday, October 12, reports the Russian Embassy in the DPRK in Facebook.
“The Republic respects the results held in the Crimea referendum on joining the Peninsula to the Russian Federation, considers the results legitimate and in full conformity with international legal standards,” reads the post.
The Embassy added that Pyongyang officially stated its position on this issue when voting in the UN.
A North Korean publishing house “Science encyclopedia” has released a new political Atlas of the world in which Crimea painted in the Russian colors.
