 The U.S. is concerned about the increase in arms transfers from North Korea to Russia. The United States has voiced concern over the potential transfer of additional weapons from North Korea to Russia as the communist state's leader vowed full support for Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. According to the Epoch Times media outlet, a State Department spokesperson confirmed that North Korea delivered infantry, rockets and missiles to the Russian private military firm Wagner Group in November 2022, despite North Korea denying the assertion. We are concerned that the North Korea is planning to deliver more military equipment to Russia. The spokesperson said, referring to North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The remarks were made on the same day that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un vowed to seek closer strategic cooperation with Russia in a statement carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency. Kim wrote to President Vladimir Putin on Russia's national day, expressing his willingness to cooperate with Russia in achieving the grand goal of building a powerful country. Korean Central News Agency reported, it remains unclear how many weapons the Wagner Group received from North Korea. In December 2022, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the weapon transfer will not change the battlefield dynamics in Ukraine. In March, the White House claimed that it obtained new information that Russia was planning to send a delegation to North Korea for talks to buy more weapons in exchange for food aid.
