The DPRK has put the Russian Federation 2.5 million ammunition and will access international banking networks - NYT

Moscow probably seeks to help Pyongyang bypass the sanctions of the UN, which forbid most banks of the world to conduct cases with North Korea, and registered a bank account in South Ossetia, occupied by Russian troops by part of Georgia. Russia's authorities, perhaps in exchange for missiles and ammunition, are trying to help Pyongyang access to the international financial system, suggesting the US Allied Allied Intelligence officers. About it reports The New York Times.

The analysis of the British Analytical Security Center shows that Pyongyang also sent up to 2. 5 million ammunition. Russia, according to the United States, has allowed to release millions of dollars from frozen North Korean assets and may already help its isolated ally access to international banking networks. New banking has been another sign of stable progress in relations between the two countries.

The North Korean Figure Company recently opened an account with another Russian bank, as reported by intelligence. This may be evidenced by Moscow's intentions, perhaps to help Pyongyang bypass the UN sanctions. Appropriate restrictions prohibit most banks to deal with North Korea. The new bank account was recorded in South Ossetia, occupied by Russia. According to experts, for North Korea access to financial networks is only one of the points in the list of desires.

According to them, the DPRK is most striving from Russia to obtain advanced military equipment, such as satellite technologies and atomic submarines. Bank agreements may be important for North Korea, which is imposed on the import of most of their economy. These relationships could greatly facilitate transactions not only within Russia but also beyond.

North Korea can use Moscow's ties with several states, including South Africa and Turkey, which are still trading with Russia after international sanctions were imposed against it through Russia's war against Ukraine. We will remind, on January 31 at the Ministry of Defense of Estonia reported that Russia expects to replenish reserves for 4. 5 million shells.
