While the US and South Korea decided to postpone military drills in the wake of the upcoming Winter Olympic Games, tensions on the peninsula show no signs of abating despite the joint efforts by Pyongyang and Seoul.

N Korea: US Deploying Aircraft Carriers around Korean Peninsula

In this respect, North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho sent a letter to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, complaining that the United States is trying to aggravate the situation on the Korean Peninsula, the North Korean embassy in Russia said in a statement obtained by RIA Novosti.

The letter noted that there's turning point on the Korean Peninsula, when the parties are "striving for peace and stability, reconciliation and the promotion of the nation to unite."

"But US rulers are misleading public opinion, alleging that the negotiations between the North and South are the result of their unprecedented sanctions and pressure.

While the North and South [...] are opening a page of peace, the United States is deploying strategic means, including strike joints of nuclear aircraft carriers around the Korean Peninsula, trying to deliberately exacerbate the situation," the letter reads.

The document notes that "the US publicly declares that it will accelerate aggressive large-scale joint military exercises against our Republic after the Winter Olympic Games."

"If, because of the intrigues of the United States, who is dragging the Korean Peninsula into a nuclear war and aggravates the situation, the atmosphere of improving inter-Korean relations and easing tensions will break through, then the US will in no case be able to get rid of responsibility for this."

The North Korean top diplomat called on the UN Security Council to welcome the process of improving inter-Korean relations and call on neighboring countries not to make obstacles, preventing such an improvement of ties.
