North Korea has emerged as a critical supplier of ammunition to Russia, enabling a 5X increase in the Russian military's daily artillery fire rate against Ukraine since fall 2023. Investigations by @tatarigami have unveiled massive covert arms transfers from Pyongyang, which have been described as vital for Russia's operations. Russian President Vladimir Putin has shown an intention to visit North Korea, with state media KCNA reporting on the potential visit and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirming an invitation from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, although no firm dates have been set. Ukraine's Military Intelligence chief Budanov has emphasized the importance of North Korean supplies, stating that without them, Moscow's situation would be catastrophic. Additionally, the two countries seek to establish 'a new multi-polarized international order', as noted by the Office of the Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK, and Putin's visit could occur at an 'early date'.
