The U.S. State Department said that Russia appears to have violated UN Security Council(UNSC) resolutions with its reported gift of a luxury car to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Department spokesperson Matthew Miller made the remarks on Wednesday during a press briefing when asked about media reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a Russian-made luxury car to Kim. 

The spokesperson said that he read the reports and if it is true, it would appear to be Russia violating the UNSC resolutions that it itself supported. 

Miller stressed that UNSC resolutions require all UN member states to prohibit the supply of transportation vehicles and luxury automobiles to North Korea.

The North’s state Korean Central News Agency reported on Wednesday that Kim received a car from Putin as a gift and the Kremlin said later that the car that Putin gave the North Korean leader is the Russian-made luxury sedan Aurus Senat.

The spokesperson also commented on a report that a North Korean ballistic missile Russia fired in Ukraine last month contained hundreds of components that have been traced back to companies in the United States and Europe.

Miller said that the U.S. will continue to use all of its relevant tools including export controls, sanctions, and law enforcement to prevent the North from acquiring sensitive items and technology that can be used in unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs.
