A report reveals that North Korea has sent massive military aid to Russia for the Ukraine war, including over 9 million rounds of ammunition, more than 100 ballistic missiles, and nearly 14,000 soldiers deployed between 2023 and 2024. Pyongyang also supplied rocket launchers, vehicles, and heavy artillery. In exchange, Russia provided refined oil, S-300 air defense systems, electronic warfare technology, and missile test data. This cooperation, violating UN arms embargoes, has allowed Russia to strike Ukrainian cities like Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia while helping North Korea gain modern war experience and missile upgrades.
