A report released by the United Nations has revealed that North Korea has managed to produce ballistic missiles within months and supply them to Russia, which have been used in the war in Ukraine.

Jonah Leff, head of Conflict Armament Research (CAR), informed the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday that the debris of four missiles found in Ukraine in July and August were examined, and one of them was found to have been produced in North Korea in 2024.

Leff stated, "This is the first time it has been proven that missiles made in North Korea have been used in Ukraine within months."

Russia's UN envoy, Vasily Nebenzya, opposed this information, claiming that Leff's organization was biased. He accused Leff of representing NATO and the European Union and asserted that his report was not impartial.

U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield rejected these claims, stating that Russia had vetoed a proposal to end UN monitoring of sanctions on North Korea, making the work of independent research organizations even more important.

It is noteworthy that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, after meeting with Russia's defense minister last November, had pledged "steadfast support" for Russia.
