He said:

It seems that the U.S. and south Korea are now instigating the DPRK and want Pyongyang to carry on a nuclear test as soon as possible. They are very confidently talking about it as a fait accompli and pointed out even the detailed date. Such estimates are groundless, but they continue to spread in the information space.

While taking pain to find out a pretext for justifying their extreme act, Washington and Seoul are forcing the DPRK to carry on a nuclear test.

Pyongyang may take such an act as a countermeasure. But the time must not be the time the other party wants and expects.

After the appearance of the right-wing conservative regime, south Korea reexamined its stand towards the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and opts for intensifying the pressure on Pyongyang. Seoul is now urging the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to take a practical measure for nuclear disarmament as the efforts for coordinating the situation and a prerequisite to resuming dialogue.

In fact, the south Korean authorities are trying to have the Democratic People's Republic of Korea return to the plan for the complete, verifiable and irretrievable denuclearization, the trite plan which was repeatedly rejected by Pyongyang.

Recently Yoon Suk Yeol announced a plan to offer an economic assistance to Pyongyang in return for its nuke dismantlement.

In order to divert elsewhere the attention, Seoul made an unacceptable proposal to Pyongyang and is trying to justify its policy from the viewpoint of strength, saying in the end that the proposal for peace was foiled.

This is evidenced by the U.S.-south Korea large-scale exercises Ulji Freedom Shield that started on Aug. 22.

This is one of the largest-ever exercises in the region.

The time when the north-south summits and the DPRK-U.S. summits were held and an agreement on showing each other's self-restraint comes in force totally passed into history.

Of course, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has always cautiously approached the holding of the U.S.-south Korea large-scale exercises. The exercises, the giant military "fist", are very threatening.

Pyongyang is convinced that, in actuality, the U.S. and south Korea are going to enforce the policy of strengthening the pressure and sanction and resuming the military exercises.

Seoul resumed the leaflet scattering through balloons on the territory of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which was another source which strained the north-south relations. In this regard, complicated incidents occur.

In April, persons infected with COVID-19 were reported massively in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The investigation committee organized in the Republic to trace the source of infection drew a conclusion that two persons were infected as they contacted with things scattered from balloon at the place about 10 kilometers away from the demilitarized zone.

The course of the spread of COVID-19 in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea proves that the infected persons occurred in the area adjacent to south Korea for the first time and then the epidemic spread to all parts of the country. Therefore, in the whole Pyongyang says it can not preclude that Seoul can use balloons in order to give the maximum harm to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea not only in the ideological aspect but also in the anti-epidemic aspect.

Such ceaseless provocations will trigger off military conflict. I do not like to say in haste that the current dispute is entering into a new stage, but it will do so in the nearest day and it is possible.

The situation is running to such an instable way.

It should not be ruled out that such situation as each other's firing at the boundary line will lead even to this or that conflict. All this will trigger off the use of arms between both sides.
