North Korea 'stopped Russia from losing in Ukraine' as millions of shells used

For nearly 20 months, a new investigation found, millions of North Korean shells have made their way to the frontlines in massive shipments by sea and then by train.

At times over the past year, the vast majority of shells fired by some Russian units were from North Korea, Reuters found.

North Korea has also dispatched ballistic missiles as well as long-range artillery and multiple-launch rocket systems.

The military partnership between North Korea and Russia came to light in 2023. It took on new importance in recent weeks, when North Korean troops, weapons systems and ammunition bolstered Russian firepower to evict the remnants of Ukraine’s incursion in Russia’s Kursk region just as the Trump administration was pulling support for Ukraine.

Russia began striking Ukraine with North Korean ballistic missiles at the end of 2023. Armed with warheads up to one ton – larger than the Russian equivalent – they initially proved to be inaccurate and unreliable, according to Ukrainian military analysis.
