CBS News reported on the 5th (local time) that North Korea has begun transferring some weapons to Russia.
CBS quoted an anonymous U.S. government official that day and said, “North Korea has begun transferring artillery-related weapons to Russia.” However, CBS said, “It is not clear whether the weapons North Korea is transferring to Russia are part of a new long-term supply chain or a limited-scale shipment.” He also said it was not clear what North Korea was receiving in return.

North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un held a summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia’s Amur Region on the 13th of last month and said, “We will join in the fight against imperialism (in Ukraine).” Putin suggested providing satellite and missile technology to North Korea.
North Korea is known to be stockpiling at least 1 million tons of ammunition compatible with Russian weapons. These include 100·115mm tank shells, 122·152mm self-propelled artillery shells, mortar shells, and old assault rifles. The U.S. government announced in December last year that “North Korea sold infantry rockets and missiles to the Russian mercenary group Wagner Group,” and in July and last month sanctioned those involved in the provision of weapons, including ammunition transport between North Korea and Russia. posted on
