Ukraine-Russia war latest: North Korea said to have sent 20,000 containers of ammunition to aid Putin’s war effort
North Korea aided Russian president Vladimir Putin’s war effort in Ukraine by supplying more than 20,000 containers of munitions containing at least 100 ballistic missiles, a monitoring group of 11 UN members said.
The Russian ally sent at least nine million rounds of artillery and rocket launcher ammunition, self-propelled artillery guns and long-range multiple rocket launchers, the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team said in a report, adding that the weapons allowed Russian forces to hit civilian infrastructure.
The group comprising the US, UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, and South Korea said it had gathered evidence showing North Korea and Russia engaged in “myriad unlawful activities” explicitly prohibited by US sanctions resolutions.
The report came as Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of engaging in “yet another deception” by failing to hand over its peace settlement proposal before a potential meeting between officials from the two countries next week.”
Ukraine has not received it. Our partners have not received it. Even Turkey, which hosted the first meeting, has not received the new agenda,” Mr Zelensky said.
