Russia is looking for allies among states ready to support it, only the countries, as well as the aggressor, do not have a sufficient level of global trust. In particular, North Korea can supply it with ammunition.

US Ambassador to NATO Julian Smith said during a briefing that the United States has information that North Korea has supplied more than a thousand containers of ammunition to Russia. This is confirmed by satellite images, reports Channel 24.

Deed North Korea condemned

According to Smith, new information has emerged that North Korea recently supplied additional weapons to Russia for use in the war against Ukraine. We are talking about more than a thousand containers with military supplies and ammunition.

She also reported the presence of satellite images that show the movement of these containers from North Korea to Russia on cargo ships .

We strongly condemn the DPRK for transferring to the Russians such weapons, which will undoubtedly be used to attack the Ukrainian people, Ukrainian cities, and also in Russia's subsequent illegal war,” Smith noted.

North Korea probably wants other military technologies from Russia. In particular, fighters, missiles, ground-to-air, armored vehicles, equipment for the production of ballistic missiles and other weapons.

The United States will continue to monitor the situation.

What's wrong with ammunition from North Korea

• The quality of the shells from the DPRK is very low. Ex-SBU employee Ivan Stupak spoke about this Channel 24 , emphasizing that the occupiers from time to time complain that North Korean ammunition does not meet standards.
• After the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un in September 2023, the dictators came to an agreement on the supply of North Korean weapons to Russia. It is known that Pyongyang provided Moscow with about a million shells.
• At the same time, according to him, it is unknown what proportion of defective units per million shells that Russia receives from North Korea , because at the same time there are positive reviews about these ammunition.
