North Korea is reportedly supplying a dominant share of the artillery shells used by Russian forces in Ukraine. Two reports from Reuters, including a satellite graphics investigation, confirm shipments of 152mm and 122mm shells crossing the border at Khasan and entering Russia’s military logistics system. The scale suggests that North Korea may now be providing the bulk of Russian shell capacity in the Donbas region, highlighting a critical external supply lifeline. Ukrainian and Western analysts note that this raises questions about sanctions enforcement and further entangles North Korea in the European security crisis.Sources
