14,000 Troops, 100 Ballistic Missiles and Millions of Munitions: What North Korea Has Sent to Russia, Report Finds
- On May 29, 2025, the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team, made up of 11 UN member states, released a report exposing North Korea's extensive military support to Russia in the Ukraine war.
- The MSMT was established in October 2024 following the dissolution of an earlier UN panel that oversaw sanctions enforcement against North Korea, a move prompted by Russia amid ongoing violations by both nations throughout 2024 linked to Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
- The report reveals that North Korea deployed more than eleven thousand soldiers throughout the previous year and sent an additional three thousand early this year to support Russia. It also supplied at least one hundred ballistic missiles and close to nine million artillery rounds, which were used in missile strikes targeting Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure.
- The report indicates that Russia supplied North Korea with weapons, technology, electronic warfare systems, air defense equipment, and missile data feedback that enhanced guidance capabilities, actions that breach international sanctions and deepen their military collaboration.
- The MSMT member states urged North Korea to pursue meaningful diplomacy amid concerns the sustained partnership deepens the conflict and bolsters Russia's war effort in Ukraine.
