PAmbassador to the UN Nebenzia called fake data on Russia’s purchase of ammunition from the DPRK Information from American journalists about Russia’s purchases of artillery shells and missiles from the DPRK are false, Nebenzia said Archive photo American media reports that Russia buys ammunition from North Korea are fake. This was stated by the permanent representative of Russia to the UN Security Council Vasily Nebenzia, reports TASS. “I haven’t heard about it and I think it’s another fake being spread,” he said.
Earlier, The New York Times and The Associated Press, citing US intelligence data, reported that Russia buys “millions of artillery shells and missiles” from the DPRK.
American intelligence provided journalists with few details about the weapons themselves, the volume and timing of deliveries. However, an unnamed US government official told the newspaper that in addition to shorter-range missiles and artillery shells, Russia will try to purchase additional equipment from the DPRK.
RBC sent a request to the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation and the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense.
In March, the United States imposed sanctions against two Russians and three Russian companies. According to the Treasury, they supported the development of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles in North Korea in violation of the recommendations of the UN Security Council, namely, they helped the DPRK to purchase components from Russia to create ballistic missile systems. Later, on this charge, the United States imposed restrictions on two more Russian companies and a citizen.
