The White House says “rockets and missiles” were delivered last month.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby alleged the transaction with Pyongyang took place last month as Russia turned increasingly to fellow rogue states“Today we can confirm that North Korea has completed an initial arms delivery to Wagner, which paid for that equipment,” Kirby said in a lengthy statement. “Last month, North Korea delivered infantry rockets and missiles into Russia for use by Wagner.
Wagner Group owner Yevgeny Prigozhin opened the PMC Wagner Centre in Saint Petersburg, Russia, on Nov. 4, 2022.Kirby accused North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Un of failing to be honest about his country’s role in the 301-day-old Ukraine war, which has drained Russia of military supplies due to surprisingly effective resistance by the NATO-armed Ukrainian government.
“We are going to raise these violations with the Security Council alongside our allies and partners and of course we condemn North Korea’s actions and we urge North Korea to cease these deliveries to Wagner immediately.” Kirby said that the Wagner Group is spending more than $100 million per month on operations in Ukraine and “currently has 50,000 personnel deployed to Ukraine, including 10,000 contractors and 40,000 convicts.”
