LtGen Kyrylo Budanov, the Ukrainian chief of military #intelligence, has called the nonstop ammunition shipments from #NorthKorea to Russian ports in the Far East a direct threat to the Ukrainian front lines thousands of miles to the west.

And US #DefSec #LloydAustin told lawmakers this spring that weapons from countries such as #NorthKorea & #Iran helped to keep Russia’s war going.

Nuclear stalemate sparks debate over information campaign aimed at North Korea

in reply to Nonilex • • •The #US should respond to every North Korean provocation by actively informing North Korean people of their dire #HumanRights situations, David Maxwell, VP of the Center for Asia Pacific Strategy, argued.
"If #NorthKorea conducts a missile test, the response should not just stop at condemning the act. #Kim's deliberate decision to prioritize #nuclear weapons & missiles is what is causing the suffering of the Korean people in the North."
