The study showed how much weaponry Russia procured from the DPRK.


The DPRK supplied Russia with weapons worth billions of dollars.
According to the German Friedrich Naumann Foundation, the DPRK sent weapons to Russia worth from 1.7 billion to 5.5 billion dollars since the beginning of the war against Ukraine.
According to the foundation, North Korea's revenues from military cooperation with Russia may increase if North Korean troops are also engaged in the war against Ukraine.
"The war in Ukraine has worsened the security situation in East Asia. Russia and North Korea are making efforts to destabilize the international order," emphasized Frederik Spohr, head of the South Korean branch of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation.
The study also revealed that Pyongyang primarily supplies Russia with artillery shells and short-range missiles.
Currently, an exact assessment of the volumes of arms supplies from the DPRK is impossible, but South Korean intelligence services have obtained data confirming deliveries by sea.
South Korea also investigated intelligence reports on the cost of weapons, which were available through secret documents.
Overall, North Korea's GDP for 2023 amounted to about 23 billion dollars.
All these facts confirm statements about the possible involvement of North Korean military in the war of Russia against Ukraine.
It should be noted that the South Korean delegation will participate in a NATO meeting due to the actions of the DPRK army in Ukraine.
