SEOUL — North Korea, which has been accused of illegally supplying weapons to Russia, said on Sunday that US military aid worth $8 billion to Ukraine is 'an incredible mistake' and playing with fire against nuclear superpower Russia.

US President Joe Biden announced the new aid as Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Washington to help Kyiv defend itself, including longer-range weapons that will upgrade its ability to strike Russia from safer distances.
