The DPRK has put 10,000 weapons containers in Russia - US Department of State

It is reported that the supply has been ongoing since September. The exports of shells have been made by two companies that now found themselves under US sanctions. Since September 2023, 10,000 containers with ammunition and "related materials" have been put in Russia. This was known from the publication of the US State Department of February 23.

"Since the beginning of October 2023, Russia has imported transport containers with military cargoes with the DPRK through the Port Eastern for use in conflict in Ukraine," the State Department noted. It is reported that more than 7,400 containers have delivered to the Russian Federation Vostochnaya Stevedoring Company LLC. The other part was responsible for supplying the Russian naval base and the Dunay Probable Naval Missile Facility.

The US State Department emphasized that these companies were involved in the definition of those involved in the transfer of North Korean ammunition to Russia in July, September and December 2023 and the supply of ballistic missiles in January 2024. Both companies have imposed sanctions. We will remind, the deputy chairman of the GUR Vadim Skibitsky declared that the DPRK has put in Russia already a half million shells. However, according to him, these weapons were produced in the last century.
