At UN, North slams US for joint exercises with SKorea_我的网站

A | United Nations, Oct 12 (UNI) North Korean Ambassador to the UN Kim Song on Wednesday lashed out at the US, arguing it is aggravating tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Addressing a session of the first committee of the UN General Assembly held in New York on Tuesday (local time), Kim, who serves as the Permanent Representative of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to the UN, urged the US to refrain from providing a nuclear umbrella and to suspend joint exercises with South Korea.
He claimed that the "stakes are running high" on the Korean Peninsula more than ever before due to the "dangerously growing hostility" and nuclear threat of Washington, Yonhap news agency reported.
"The US is now desperate to spread the disinformation in the international arena aimed at demonizing the government of our republic with an absurdist sophistry that our self defensive capability poses a threat to global peace and security in the region," he said.
He also called on the US to take the lead in nuclear disarmament and to refrain from providing a nuclear umbrella or transferring nuclear technology.
The envoy also took issue with the recent joint exercises between Washington and Seoul, including the Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise in August and maritime exercises involving the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan last month.
He then defended the North's arms buildup as a basic right stipulated in the U.N. charter and a self-defensive means to counter the "heinous" hostility of the US.
"Under such inevitable circumstances, we are compelled to decide to organize military drills under the simulations of an actual war at different levels in order to check and improve the reliability and combat power of our state war deterrence and send a strong military reaction warning to the enemies," he said.
The comments came as the North has been sharply ratcheting up tensions on the peninsula in recent weeks, staging seven rounds of provocative ballistic missile launches over the past two weeks.
The North also said it staged large-scale air-attack drills on Saturday, involving the simultaneous mobilization of around 150 warplanes "for the first time in history".
UNI ING。据美国哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）和Axios新闻网爆料，美国中央情报局（CIA）局长约翰·拉特克利夫于8月26日现身莫斯科进行未公开会谈。

B | 这是拉特克利夫担任中情局长以来首次访问俄罗斯，也是自今年1月以来，特朗普政府访问俄罗斯的最高级别官员。美国和俄罗斯高级官员之间的面对面会谈十分罕见。

C | 美俄双方均未证实此次访问的性质，也没有透露他计划与谁会面。此次突然到访，正值俄乌长期僵局未解之际。

D | 尚不清楚此次罕见接触是否与美国斡旋俄乌谈判有关。据报道，拉特克利夫于26日早些时候抵达俄罗斯首都。飞行追踪数据显示，一架美国大型军用飞机26日从美国出发，经拉脱维亚飞往俄罗斯，并于当天晚些时候离开俄罗斯。

E | 社交媒体上发布的视频显示，这架C-17运输机正在接近莫斯科的伏努科沃国际机场。根据FlightRadar24的数据，飞机于格林尼治时间05时50分从拉脱维亚的里加机场起飞，似乎于07时04分左右降落在俄罗斯首都。

F | 它于当天17时前不久返回里加。社交媒体上的另一段视频显示，一支外交车队在莫斯科街头行驶。一名乌克兰高级官员告诉CBS，在此次行程前，美国方面曾告知乌克兰，一支高级别代表团将前往莫斯科，并要求基辅暂停袭击行动，直至代表团离开。曾于2019年至2022年担任英国驻莫斯科武官的约翰·福尔曼在接受BBC采访时表示，鉴于近期有关“德国境内的无人机活动可能与俄罗斯有关”的猜测，此次访问可能与“管控局势升级”有关。
