Defending sovereignty is a just right of the Korean people waging a struggle amid the decades-long siege of the hostile forces, the statement said, and went on:

Most Russians and other people of the world greatly admire the recent achievements made by the DPRK in the nuclear and space development for peaceful purposes.

The imperialists and renegades of socialism are leaving no means untried to tarnish the image of the DPRK.

The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Party of "Communists of Russia" expresses full support and solidarity for the leadership of the DPRK, the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people.

We demand the withdrawal of all sanctions against the DPRK.

Long live the powerful and dignified DPRK!
