This was stated by the spokesman for the US State Department Matthew Miller.
"We continue to be extremely concerned about the expansion of the security relationship between North Korea and Russia," he said.
In addition, the representative of the US State Department specified that the concern concerns the support that the Russian Federation continues to receive from the DPRK for its further use in the war against Ukraine.
Miller also added that concern is also caused by the prospect of assistance to Pyongyang from Moscow, which will ultimately destabilize the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
Recall that about a week ago, The New York Times reported that Russia received new supplies of ballistic missiles from North Korea. We are talking about short-range Hwasong-11 missiles.
The NYT wrote that the aggressor country, the Russian Federation, used them to strike Kiev this summer.
We also note that at the 20th meeting of the Yalta European Strategy (YES), the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, said that Russia's supply of artillery ammunition from North Korea creates serious problems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front. Moreover, after such supplies, an escalation of hostilities is observed.
