theguardian.com

North Korean weapons are being used by Russia to attack Ukrainian cities, terrorizing civilians and damaging infrastructure, according to a new report. A multinational sanctions monitoring team found that North Korea has supplied Russia with over 20,000 containers of munitions, including missiles and artillery, since September 2023. This violates UN sanctions and has allowed Russia to intensify its attacks. The report also details a strategic partnership between North Korea and Russia, including the exchange of military aid and technology, such as missile guidance improvements, and the deployment of North Korean soldiers to fight in Ukraine.
