Summary
North Korea has accused NATO of preparing for war, citing the alliance's plan to upgrade fuel supply infrastructure across Europe. In a commentary carried by state media KCNA, Pyongyang said the project, which would link a roughly 10,000-kilometer fuel network in Western Europe with newer member states in Eastern and Northern Europe, shows NATO is gearing up for conflict.
North Korea and Russia have deepened military ties since signing a comprehensive strategic partnership in June 2024, which includes a mutual defense commitment. Pyongyang has also sent about 14,000 troops to Russia's Kursk region to help repel a major Ukrainian incursion, according to reports.
NATO has said it is strengthening deterrence and defense following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. North Korea has also condemned military cooperation between the United States, South Korea, and other countries, including NATO members.
