The North Korean dictator's appeals were made during the 4th Conference of Battalion Commanders and Political Instructors of the Korean People's Army, organized for the first time in 10 years and highlighted by South Korean media outlet Yonhap.

Kim Jong Un urged army representatives to focus on completing war preparations, stressing that the main challenge is strengthening the country's nuclear forces. He stated that North Korea's nuclear potential must act as a deterrent and enable a preemptive strike in case of a threat.

The leader of North Korea also criticized the United States and South Korea for forming a "nuclear alliance" and initiating an "Asian version of NATO." According to Pyongyang, this occurs through strengthened trilateral military cooperation with Seoul and Tokyo.

- [The] U.S.-led military alliance has been expanding into larger areas encompassing Europe and the Asia-Pacific region - noted the dictator. He added that the United States, "the most hostile enemy, primarily threatens North Korea.

Kim Jong Un also addressed the issue of the war in Ukraine. He claimed that the West was fighting Russia and using Ukrainians to gain battle experience.

North Korea has ratified a groundbreaking defense pact with Russia. As part of this strengthened security cooperation, Pyongyang is sending thousands of soldiers to support Russia in the fight against Ukraine.

- Under the current subjective, objective circumstances, completing war preparations is the most urgent task that cannot be delayed by a single days - said Kim Jong Un.
