Russia's quest for North Korean munitions and US sanctions.
TL;DR Summary
Russia is actively seeking to acquire additional munitions from North Korea to support its military operations against Ukraine, according to National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby. The assistance from North Korea would help Moscow’s forces refill its stockpiles ahead of an expected offensive by Ukraine in the spring. The possible Russia-North Korea deal was allegedly brokered by Slovakian arms dealer Ashot Mkrtychev, leading the administration to sanction him on Thursday.
