The Switzerland-Korea Committee and the Swiss Group for the Study of the Juche Idea said in their joint statement on Aug. 22:

The U.S. imperialists started Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises in collusion with the south Korean puppet forces.

The drills aim at invading the DPRK.

They are not "annual" and "defensive" rehearsals loudly advertised by the U.S. imperialists but those for the "beheading operation" and "secret operation" aiming at the DPRK's supreme headquarters according to the OPLAN 5015 and those for coping with the latter's ballistic rockets.

The U.S. imperialists should not forget even a moment that the strategic force of the Korean People's Army which makes no empty talk is ready for launching rockets to strike them anytime.

The Russian Association for Friendship and Cultural Cooperation with the DPRK and the Russian Group for Solidarity with the DPRK vehemently denounced the U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet forces for conducting their joint military exercises in their statements on Aug. 22 and 24.

The statements asserted that the U.S. should not forget that its rival is the DPRK which has nuclear weapons, delivery means and the strongest army in the world.
