Bloomberg clarifies that trade between the two countries reached a record $240 billion in 2023.

“… There is concern as Ukraine faces a critical artillery shortage and its allies tirelessly try to help Kyiv. Meanwhile, Russia has been able to increase its domestic weapons production, continues to import key components through a network of third countries and receives shells and other weapons from countries such as North Korea and Iran,” Bloomberg emphasizes.
