The Unseen Collaboration: Kim Jong Un and Putin's Alliance in Ukraine

The recent summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin has raised concerns that North Korea may supply artillery shells to Russia, which is facing a shortage of munitions in its conflict with Ukraine. Russia's military heavily relies on artillery in the ongoing conflict, and a fresh supply of ammunition from North Korea could complicate Ukraine's counteroffensive. In return, North Korea could seek economic and technological assistance from Russia. The growing cooperation between Russia and North Korea poses challenges for the United States and its allies in addressing the situation in Ukraine.
