Last month, North Korea provided infantry weapons and missiles to Russia for use by the Wagner company, according to media reports.

North Korea provided a batch of weapons to the Russian PVK “Wagner”. According to the US assessment, the number of weapons from North Korea will not change the dynamics of hostilities in Ukraine, “but we are concerned that North Korea plans to supply more military equipment.”

This was reported  by Reuters  with reference to a high-ranking American official who spoke on condition of anonymity. It is noted that the purpose of sending weapons is to strengthen the occupation forces in Ukraine and to expand the role of the PMK in the war.

“We can confirm that North Korea has completed the initial supply of weapons to Wagner, which paid for the equipment. Last month, North Korea provided infantry weapons and missiles to Russia for use by Wagner,” the official said.

The United States emphasized that the supply of weapons by North Korea is a direct violation of UN Security Council resolutions. The Americans plan to raise this issue in the Security Council. According to experts, Pyongyang has created ballistic missiles capable of hitting almost any point on the ground, as well as short-range weapons.
