Researchers in Ukraine studied the fragments of four rockets from North Korea, discovered in July and August, including one with the marks that it was produced in 2024 year. "This is the first public evidence that missiles have been produced in North Korea and then used in Ukraine for several months, not years," he said.
According to the expert, he headed by the organization Conflict ArmAment Research found "irrelevant" evidence that the fragments of rockets found in Ukraine at the beginning of this year were from a missile produced in the DPRK. The organization based in the United Kingdom was created in 2011 to document and track the weapons used in conflicts. In Ukraine, this organization has been operating since 2018.
The Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Neenzi objected to the second appearance of Leff at a meeting of the Council, which was conducted by Ambassador Linda Thomas Grinfield of the United States. He stated that Leff represents NATO and the European Union, and doubted that his organization could give impartial grades.
The US Ambassador noted that Russia vetoed a resolution that stopped monitoring of sanctions against North Korea by UN experts, which she said, makes organizations such as conflict armyament research and its independent experts, even more important. Russia and North Korea "are involved in the illegal transfer of weapons and training, frankly violating numerous resolutions of the Council," Thomas Grinfield said.
