In a recent Financial Times report, it’s been revealed that Ukrainian soldiers are making use of North Korean rockets, which they claim were acquired through a “friendly” country after being seized and later delivered to Ukraine.

The Ukrainian defence ministry suggests that these weapons were initially captured by Russian forces. However, despite the United States’ accusations of North Korea supplying arms to Russia, including potential shipments via sea, no concrete evidence has been presented, and the presence of North Korean weaponry on Ukrainian battlefields is not widely observed.

Both North Korea and Russia have vehemently denied any involvement in arms transactions. Nevertheless, the report highlights that Ukrainian troops operating Soviet-era Grad multiple-launch rocket systems near the war-torn city of Bakhmut have showcased these North Korean weapons.

Bakhmut has been a site of prolonged and brutal fighting.

In a noteworthy development, Russia’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu recently made a rare visit to Pyongyang to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of the Korean War.

This visit marks the first time that Moscow’s top defence official has visited North Korea since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

During the visit, Shoigu was photographed inspecting prohibited North Korean ballistic missiles alongside leader Kim Jong Un at a military expo in Pyongyang.
