US and allies accuse North Korea and Russia of flagrantly violating UN sanctions in military deals
- The Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team reported in May 2025 that North Korea has supplied over 20,000 containers of munitions to Russia, enabling increased missile attacks on Ukraine.
- This military cooperation arose after Russia and North Korea signed a strategic partnership treaty in June 2024, despite existing U.N. Security Council sanctions prohibiting such exchanges.
- The cooperation included shipments of nine million artillery rounds, at least 100 ballistic missiles, deployment of over 11,000 North Korean troops to Russia since October 2024, and Russian support to North Korea's missile programs.
- The team reported that military assistance contributed to Moscow’s enhanced capability to launch missile attacks on Ukrainian urban centers, focusing on vital civilian infrastructure and causing terror in cities such as Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia.
- The report found that North Korea and Russia plan to expand their military cooperation in defiance of U.N. sanctions, and the monitoring team will persist in tracking and highlighting ongoing breaches.
