According to South Korean intelligence, the DPRK continues to supply artillery shells to Russia. As of now, North Korea has supplied about 28 thousand containers with weapons and artillery shells. 'If calculated by 152-mm single shells, (the number of supplied shells) likely exceeded 12 million,' noted the intelligence.
Since October last year, North Korea has transferred weapons and about 13 thousand soldiers to Russia to support the Russian Federation's war. It is likely that the DPRK will send additional troops to Russia in July or August, reported Seoul's intelligence agency at the end of June. Russian media reported that North Korea will send 5000 military builders and 1000 sappers to Kursk to support efforts to restore the region.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, Pyongyang plans to send an additional 25,000 to 30,000 military personnel to support Moscow's offensive in Ukraine.
Earlier, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, stated that the DPRK supplies Russia with up to 40% of the ammunition for the war with Ukraine. According to him, Kim Jong Un's regime sends ballistic missiles and artillery systems to Russia in particular.
On the eve, during a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Kim Jong Un stated that his country is ready to 'unconditionally support' all of Moscow's actions in the war in Ukraine, writes CNN, citing reports from North Korean media.
