North Korea will not supply weapons or ammunition to Russia. The information was reported by the state news agency KCNA. “We have never exported weapons or ammunition to Russia and we will not,” a senior North Korean Defense Ministry official said today, according to KCNA.
The US and other hostile forces started rumors of arms deals between the People’s Republic of North Korea and Russia, Pyongyang said.
North Korea is also accused of violating a UN Security Council resolution, North Korea said. US State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said earlier this month that Russia was purchasing millions of missiles and artillery shells from North Korea for use in Ukraine.
White House national security spokesman John Kirby later said there was no sign that the arms purchase was being finalized or that the weapons were being used in Ukraine.
