South Korea has long known that Russia used weapons provided by North Korea in the war against Ukraine, according to CNN.
“We have long confirmed that kinds of weapons provided by North Korea were being used by Russia in the Ukraine battlefield,” an official from the Presidential Office in Seoul said.
The official said that it was hard to talk about the issue because it is an intelligence matter.
The official also said that the South Korean government is discussing individual and multilateral measures it could take with its major allies including the US and Japan, as it monitors the growing ties between Moscow and Pyongyang.
