The United States has accused North Korea of supplying shells to Russia
Russia allegedly buys artillery shells and missiles from North Korea, according to US intelligence. Moscow's purchase of millions of shells and missiles from North Korea is seen in the United States as a sign that sanctions have complicated supply routes for the Russian military.
This is reported by The New York Times.
Russia is buying millions of artillery shells and missiles from North Korea, according to newly declassified U.S. intelligence data, a sign that global sanctions have severely constrained its supply chains and forced Moscow to turn to rogue states for military supplies.
This message came a few days after Russia received the first batches of Iranian-made drones. U.S. government officials said Russia's decision to turn to Iran and now North Korea is allegedly a sign that sanctions and export controls imposed by the United States and Europe are preventing Moscow from obtaining supplies for its military.
A US official said that in addition to short-range missiles and artillery shells, Russia is expected to purchase additional North Korean equipment in the future.
“The Kremlin should be alarmed that it has to buy anything from North Korea at all,” says Mason Clark, who heads the Russia team at the propaganda Institute for the Study of War, headed by a relative of Victoria Nuland.
