A North Korean missile killing Ukrainian civilians is a \u201cred line\u201d, Zelenskyi says. Ukraine successfully uses a \u201chybrid\u201d air defense system. The volumes of agricultural exports via the Black Sea have returned to near pre-war levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to a journalist\u2019s question in Davos about the red lines that North Korea should have not crossed, President Zelenskyi said that North Korea had sent more than one million artillery shells to Russia, but it was just the first step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is about war. Artillery is about war on the battlefield. But there is a second step. These are already \u2018red lines\u2019, because these are missiles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia launched a strike against civilians with a North Korean missile, causing civilian casualties, he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere was a North Korean-made missile that targeted civilians. Civilian people died. It did not happen on the battlefield or on the frontline. It was sent against civilians,\u201d Zelenskyi said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia has fired North Korean-supplied ballistic missiles into Ukraine, U.S. National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said at a White House briefing on January 4. These North Korean ballistic missiles are capable of ranges of approximately 900 kilometers, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The North Korean-made missiles were fired at Ukraine on December 30 and January 2, Kirby said. The missile fired on December 30 appears to have landed in an open field in the Zaporizhzhia region, he said. On January 2, Russia launched multiple North Korean ballistic missiles into Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the United Nations, Serhiy Kyslytsya announced on January 5 that the United Nations Security Council will convene over Russia\u2019s use of North Korean-made ballistic missiles against Ukraine. Speaking at a U.N. Security Council session on January 10, South Korean envoy Hwang Joon-kook said that North Korea uses Ukraine as the test site of its nuclear-capable missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine has the first evidence of Russia\u2019s use of North Korean-made missiles against Ukraine, Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin said in televised comments on January 11. Russia fired a North Korean-supplied short-range ballistic missile into Kharkiv on January 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
