On behalf of the Russian Federation, I give this message to the World.
For many years, the world has lived in fear of the dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, and his determination to test nuclear weapons devices and threaten the Western powers with them. In the absence of other nations taking action against the regime, and the regime's failure to instill confidence in Russia, their only ally, we have deemed it is time to take action.
In the night, Russian elite forces in cooperation with resistance in the North Korean government have removed Kim Jong-un from the seat of power. He is currently being held in a secure facility in the South of Russia pending trial once proper jurisdiction has been determined. In the meantime, he is being treated well and attended to by Russia's finest. Two close military advisers were also removed from the nation in the same operation.
In his place now sits Choe Ryong Hae, who has served in many high-ranking positions of the North Korean government and has a history of military service and organizer of North Korean youth organizations. Of his own choice, Choe Ryong Hae has appointed the Russian adviser, Valery Sukhinin, he chose through prior communication to his newly formed cabinet. Sukhinin has also informed the new prime minister that he will be stepping down from his position in one month's time.
In his first morning as acting Prime Minister of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK), he delivered a stirring speech to the North Korean people and announced that he dreamed of a more free Korea, one of open ports, one of freedoms, one of beauty. He repeated the Russian government's promise to respect the New Korean administration as completely sovereign. He also proclaimed that his administration would be pursuing admittance into the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Asian equal economic and defense pact that includes Russia, many central Asian nations, and several more in Eastern Europe.
As a condition for the new administration's admission, Russia and Belarus have insisted that the DPRK abandon its nuclear endeavors. They are encouraged to continue developing their own national defense as long as this does not include nuclear weaponry.
Discussions between all CIS nations are expected in the bi-annual summit in Minsk, Belarus in about one month.
