Washington confirmed a declassified U.S. intelligence assessment claiming that Russia was purchasing weapons from North Korea to ease supply shortages amid its war in Ukraine. North Korea has denied the claims, calling the allegations rumors spread by hostile forces.

Last week, British intelligence analysts said that Russia was almost certainly increasingly sourcing weaponry from Iran (drones) and North Korea (rocket artillery).

North Korea has never exported weapons or ammunition to Russia before and we will not plan to export them, an unidentified senior defense official said in a September 21, 2022 statement carried by state media.

The statement came after Washington earlier this month confirmed a declassified U.S. intelligence assessment claiming that Russia was purchasing weapons from North Korea to ease supply shortages amid its war in Ukraine.

Such exports, said to include artillery shells and rockets, would violate UN resolutions stemming from North Korea’s nuclear program that bar it from importing or exporting weapons.

Russia recently purchased military drones from Iran, another state under unilateral USA and international sanctions, to boost its military campaign against Ukraine, which has reportedly depleted Moscow’s ammunition and military equipment stocks.

Sanctions limiting Russia’s purchase of microchips and other equipment is also seen as contributing to Moscow’s difficulties in maintaining military supplies.

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby earlier this month said that Moscow could potentially purchase millions of rockets and artillery shells from North Korea, although he said that Washington had no evidence any sales had taken place.
