North Korea supplies half of the artillery munitions Russia uses against Ukraine and more weapons are on the way, according to an assessment from the chief of Kyiv’s intelligence.
Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU), said during a press conference marking three years of the war on Sunday that North Korea “satisfies 50%” of all Russia’s “frontline ammunition needs,” adding that Russia is also substantially increasing production of its ammunition like guided aerial bombs and drones.
