SUMMARY

North Korea is supplying up to 40% of Russia’s ammunition for the Ukraine war, according to Ukrainian military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov. North Korea also provides ballistic missiles and artillery systems in exchange for money and technology from Russia. Budanov cited these “good weapons” as contributing to significant military losses for Ukraine, estimating that nearly 60% of recent losses were due to North Korean artillery.

The military partnership deepened after a treaty between Putin and Kim last year. North Korean troops are aiding Russian efforts in Ukraine.
