Kim Jong Un’s sister brands Ukraine and South Korea as "US-bred bad dogs"

Kim Yo Jong, deputy head of a department within the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and sister to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has equated South Korea and Ukraine, stating they are "as alike as two peas in a pod." She harshly described both nations as "US-bred bad dogs."

Her remarks were published in a statement by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), per Caliber.Az.

"Judging by the behaviour of Seoul and Kyiv, who scramble around, beg, and dare to utter irreparable absurdities against nuclear-armed states, they are indistinguishable, like two peas in a pod. These are common traits of bad dogs nurtured by the U.S.," Kim Yo Jong declared.

She also reignited criticism of South Korea regarding incidents involving violations of North Korean airspace by South Korean drones. Kim mentioned that North Korean investigators continue to look into these events.

"No one knows what form our retaliation and retribution will take," she warned.

Earlier, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un stated that the destruction of the transportation routes between North Korea and the Republic of Korea symbolizes more than just the end of ground-based communication; it marks the abandonment of the idea of reunifying the Korean Peninsula and the concept of a unified Korean people.

"Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un has emphasized that our military must clearly understand an undeniable fact: the Republic of Korea is a foreign nation and an entirely hostile state," KCNA reported from his visit to the command of the Korean People's Army’s Second Corps on October 17.

Kim reminded his audience that, two days earlier, North Korea had completely demolished the roads and railways connecting it to the Republic of Korea, severing all communication channels.

"This action signifies not only a physical blockade but also the cutting of an undesirable connection with Seoul, which has persisted for centuries, and the rejection of the pointless sense of kinship and the unrealistic notion of reunification," the leader stated, as reported by the agency.

"[Kim Jong Un said that] this also marks the final judgment, allowing our physical strength to be employed freely, without conditions, in the event of a violation of our sovereignty by the hostile state, the Republic of Korea," KCNA added. The North Korean leader stressed that any retaliation would be directed not at "compatriots," but at "the hostile state."
