Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation reported that 70% of Russia’s ammunition is supplied by the North Korea and Iran on October 25.

According to Bloomberg, citing Ukrainian intelligence, Pyongyang supplied to Russia around 8 million rounds of 122mm and 152mm artillery shells made in North Korea since August last year.

Additionally, about 100 Hwasong-11 missiles and Bulsae-4 anti-tank weapons have been observed for the first time on the battlefield in Ukraine.
