White House Alleges Russia of Seeking More Arms from N Korea: 

The White House said on Thursday that Russia is still looking for arms from North Korea for the Ukraine war, despite Pyongyang having already shipped artillery munitions to the Wagner Group fighting on the front lines, news agency AFP reported. 

John Kirby, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, had previously stated that North Korea is secretly supplying a "significant number" of artillery shells to Russia. Kirby also added that North Korea is rerouting the shipments through nations in the Middle East and North Africa.

"Our indications are that the DPRK is supplying covertly, and we will monitor to see if the shipments are received," John Kirby said.

US officials stated that Russia's acquisition of weapons from Iran and North Korea shows that the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and western sanctions have weakened Russia's military capabilities and reduced its ability to manufacture new weapons.
