This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia has begun firing ballistic missiles into Ukraine that were provided by North Korea, according to two U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive U.S. intelligence.
It also shows Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ability to lean on pariah countries to make up for deficiencies in his own arsenal as the war in Ukraine approaches its third calendar year.
A second official said that the North Korean projectiles were short-range ballistic missiles that Moscow fired in late December and early January.
Michael Kofman, a military analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said Russia’s war effort is being bolstered by imports of weaponry.
“That means that Russia would benefit from having access to an additional stockpile from countries like North Korea.”
The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Russia began receiving shipments of North Korean ballistic missiles several weeks ago.
