"Russia Turns to North Korea for Weapons and Ammo Amid Ukraine Conflict"

North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un is visiting Russia for a meeting with President Vladimir Putin, where discussions are expected to focus on Russia's need for ammunition in its ongoing war in Ukraine. Russia, facing a dwindling supply of ammunition, is turning to North Korea, which possesses a formidable artillery arsenal that could provide the firepower Moscow requires. North Korea has an estimated 6,000 deadly artillery systems within range of major South Korean population centers, along with rocket artillery systems, tanks, and armored vehicles. While some experts question the effectiveness of North Korea's weapons, the country's military capabilities pose a significant threat. Russia's efforts to secure military aid from North Korea include seeking the sale of artillery munitions, potentially in exchange for food and support in international bodies.
