Russian state TV presenter Sergey Mardan said on Friday that most Russians 'agree' with North Korea's nuclear approach amid the Ukraine war.
North Korea has long touted its nuclear weapons capability. Viewed as a pariah state in global diplomacy, its state officials have, at times, used inflammatory rhetoric in regards to its nuclear program. The country has also conducted several nuclear tests off its coast, raising eyebrows from the international community."They all turned back and knew he [Kim Jong-un] wasn't lying—that he really would...whack them with a nuclear bomb. You can't mess around at all," he said.
As Western leaders have condemned Putin's invasion—pointing to an apparent lack of justification as well as alleged human rights abuses—Mardan added that most Russians believe Moscow should use similar nuclear threats to deter Western influence over Russian international affairs.

A Russian state TV propagandist on Friday praised North Korea for its nuclear threats against the United States."And the thing is that this is exactly how most of our country thinks. They agree with this approach, and they're not prepared to make any compromises," he said.
Alicia Sanders-Zakre, policy and research coordinator for the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, told"The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is the only international treaty to explicitly ban all nuclear threats, and in light of Russian threats, states parties issued an unequivocal condemnation of nuclear threats in June 2022.
