Moscow's interest is highlighted: the Russian Federation is negotiating with the DPRK on weapons supply

According to John Kirby, the US will do everything possible to detect and prevent Russia's attempts to buy weapons for war in Ukraine. The United States received significant progress in negotiations between Russia and North Korea on weapons supply agreements. This was reported on August 30 by Strategic Communications Coordinator at the White House National Security Council John Kirby.

According to Washington, representatives of Russia and North Korea are in a constant discussion of potential defense agreements. Among them is the interest of Moscow to obtain certain raw materials from Pyongyang, which can support the Russian defense-industrial complex. "We resort to specific actions by identifying and imposing sanctions against individuals and legal entities that assist agreements on the sale of weapons between the two countries.

We will continue to identify, disclose and stop Russia's attempts to buy military means in the DPRK and from any other state, It is ready to support her war in Ukraine, "Kirby said. Back in March 2023, John Kirby, a strategic communications coordinator of the US National Security Council, made a statement that the Russian Federation was interested in receiving ammunition from North Korea, possibly offering food supply to exchange.

According to Kirby, quoted by Politico, Russia seeks to get more ammunition to strengthen hostilities in Ukraine. From November 2022, the United States has been accused of North Korea for the secret supply of Russia to a large number of artillery shells for use in the war in Ukraine and an attempt to hide these deliveries. According to intelligence, ammunition is allegedly sent to the Middle East or North Africa, but are actually intended for Russia.
