North Korea supplies Russia with arms. So does Iran. No one is surprised to find their armaments in Ukraine. The supposed heated debate at the UN is all smoke and mirrors.
During a recent United Nations Security Council meeting, Jonah Leff, the head of the Conflict Armament Research, presented findings that clearly link remnants of ballistic missiles found in Ukraine to North Korea. These remnants included parts from missiles striking the city of Kharkiv on January 2, identified as models KN-23 or KN-24, which were produced in North Korea in 2023. Leff detailed the missile components, including rocket motors, tail sections, and specific markings in Korean, underscoring their origin from North Korea.

This revelation set the stage for intense discussions among global powers. The United States, alongside other Western nations, accused Russia and North Korea of violating a United Nations embargo on North Korean arms exports. In contrast, Russia and North Korea dismissed these claims, with Russia calling the accusations baseless and North Korea labeling the discussion an egregious act of overstepping. At the same time all of this is going on, the U.S. supplies Ukraine with everything. As does the EU.
The United States pointed to the technical evidence presented, highlighting it as robust and pointing out the ongoing illegal arms transfers between North Korea and Russia. U.S. Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood emphasized the significance of the findings, stating they corroborate other open-source analyses and show continued unlawful military cooperation, including the transfer of thousands of containers of munitions from North Korea to Russia.
The UN Security Council has been told of the “irrefutable proof” that #Russia is being supplied with weapons from #NorthKorea.

In response, Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia and North Korean Ambassador Kim Song firmly rejected the allegations. Nebenzia criticized the motives of the Western nations, accusing them of escalating regional tensions and misusing the Security Council platform to propagate anti-Russian and anti-North Korean sentiments. Meanwhile, Kim Song denounced the United States as the world’s largest arms exporter, arguing that it, along with its allies, are the true disruptors of global peace.
The discussions also delved into broader security concerns in the Asia-Pacific region, with China’s Deputy U.N. Ambassador Geng Shuang calling for rational and pragmatic actions to stabilize the situation. Geng emphasized China’s commitment to fostering long-term peace in the region, urging the U.S. to end its aggressive stance towards North Korea and seek genuine dialogue.
President Biden is looking for every excuse to escalate the war. As Tucker and many others have explained, Ukraine and Russia had a deal for peace long ago. It is only Washington DC that stops it all. After all, President Biden has received millions in bribes from both Ukraine and Russia, and the Deep State and Pentagon want to keep all of the biolabs in Ukraine away from the public eye.
