The Russian army struck Ukraine at least twice with missiles supplied by North Korea.
This was announced by the Coordinator for Strategic Communications of the National Security Council of the White House in Washington, John Kirby.
—Our intelligence indicates that North Korea recently provided Russia with ballistic missile launchers and several dozen ballistic missiles—and Russia launched some of them at Ukraine. This happened on December 29, 2023 and January 2, 2024, the American official said.
According to him, the fact that the Russian Federation is capable of deploying ballistic missiles in this war indicates growing cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang.

Recall that at the end of last year, President Zelensky assessed the pace of arms supplies to Russia from authoritarian countries as more rhythmic than from democratic allies to Ukraine. First of all, he pointed out the artillery shells that Pyongyang sends by train to Moscow.
