Showing concern about the escalating situation on the Korean peninsula, the Russian Association for Friendship and Cultural Cooperation with the DPRK said in a statement on Sept. 13:

These days the U.S. and its lackey south Korean authorities get more undisguised in their war moves against the DPRK.

Accordingly a grave situation with high possibility of a nuclear war prevails on the Korean peninsula.

We support the DPRK's self-defensive measures for the protection of sovereignty of the country.

The servicepersons and people of the DPRK will make further success in their efforts to tide over the sanctions and blockade and achieve prosperity of the country in single-minded unity around the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.

The Anti-Imperialist Forum of Germany said in a statement on Sept. 14:

The U.S. and its stooges are like "the guilty party filing the suit first".

The DPRK has been exposed to the threats of aggression by the hostile forces including the U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet group for a long time.

It proposed the conclusion of the peace treaty with the U.S. several times, but the U.S. paid no heed to it and is intentionally aggravated the situation on the peninsula.

The world should know that the U.S. is chiefly responsible for the tension on the peninsula.

With no sanctions can the U.S. check the DPRK's advance.
