North Korea's Quick Missile Supply to Russia's War

Imagine this: North Korea can create and send ballistic missiles to Russia in just a few months. This isn't just a guess. A research group found pieces of missiles in Ukraine that were made in North Korea, including one from 2024. This shows that the time between production and use is shockingly short. But the story doesn't end there. Earlier this year, the same group found other missile remnants from North Korea in Ukraine. They've been working in Ukraine since 2018 to track weapons used in conflicts. North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, has even promised to support Russia's war in Ukraine. But Russia's U. N. ambassador wasn't happy with the research group's findings. He said they're not neutral and accused the U. S. of turning U. N. meetings into a political show.

The U. S. ambassador stepped in, saying Russia blocked experts who monitor sanctions against North Korea. She pointed out that both Russia and North Korea are breaking U. N. rules by transferring weapons. The research group's leader stood by their work. He said it shows that North Korea is still using newly made missiles in Ukraine. It also proves that North Korea has a strong network to get parts for their missiles, even though the U. N. has banned it. North Korea's U. N. ambassador defended their relationship with Russia, saying it's good for world peace. He blamed the U. S. and its allies for causing problems by helping Ukraine with weapons.
