UN officials have declared that debris found around the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv showed remains of North Korean missiles that were likely provided to Russia to aid Vladimir Putin’s ongoing war effort.
In developments that have sent chills up geopolitical experts’ spines, North Korea ’s Kim Jong-un has pledged to strengthen military relations with Russia as the Europe an superpower persists in funnelling billions into its “special military campaign” that continues to destabilise the globe.
North Korea, which has been under UN sanctions for its ballistic missile and nuclear programs for almost 20 years, has now been warned it is in violation of the arms embargo put in place to curtail threats of escalation with neighbouring nations. The findings came weeks after Russia vetoed the United Nations’ renewal of a panel of experts monitoring North Korea’s compliance with the international sanctions in place.
Bruce Klingner, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, said the strengthening of military ties between the two nations, who both share a disdain for Western sanctions, was “a worrisome prospect”.Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un met for historic talks in Russia last year.

“However, it is more likely that Russia will provide second-tier weapon technology such as military reconnaissance satellites or advanced conventional weapon designs — still a worrisome prospect,” he added.“Despite the deterioration in the Indo-Pacific security environment, there is also great cause for confidence,” he continued.
Analysts have said the nuclear-armed North could be testing and ramping up production of artillery and cruise missiles before sending them to Russia for use in Ukraine.
