Russia purchasing artillery, rockets from North Korea for Ukraine invasion

ABC  

White House National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby says Russia is in the process of purchasing "millions of rounds" of rockets and artillery shells from North Korea for its ongoing fight against Ukraine. Key points: A US official said there was "no indication" Russia had actually purchased the weapons from North Korea It comes after the US recently confirming Russia had taken delivery of Iranian-manufactured drones North Korea has hinted at interest in sending construction workers to Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine Speaking to reporters Tuesday during an off-camera gaggle, Mr Kirby said the White House has no "indication that the purchase has actually occurred yet," and no indication that the weapons have reached the battlefield. North Korea has sought to tighten relations with Russia as much of Europe and the West pulled away, blaming the United States for the Ukraine crisis and decrying the West's "hegemonic policy" as justifying military action by Russia in Ukraine to protect itself. North Korea's ambassador to Moscow recently met with envoys from two Russia-backed separatist territories in the Donbas region of Ukraine.
