Accused by the West of importing weapons from North Korea, Russia on Thursday imposed the end of the UN sanctions monitoring system against Pyongyang and its nuclear program, a decision denounced by numerous members of the Security Council.
Moscow vetoed a draft resolution that extended for one year the mandate of the committee of experts that oversees these sanctions and was supported by 13 of the 15 members of the body. #China abstained.
"What Russia has done today undermines peace and security in the world, all to promote a corrupt agreement that Moscow has sealed" with Pyongyang, reacted Matthew Miller, spokesman for the US State Department.
North Korea has been subject to Security Council sanctions since 2006, mainly related to its nuclear program. These measures were reinforced several times in 2016 and 2017.

Russia's use of North Korean ballistic missiles not a sign of Moscow's depleted domestic capacity
Russia’s missile campaign against Ukraine’s cities and infrastructure is no longer limited by the rate of domestic production as North Korea becomes its top weapons supplier.
#Pyongyang has allegedly sent Moscow more than 1 million artillery rounds and the mass strikes on Dec. 30 and Jan. 2 provided the first direct evidence that Russia used North Korean missiles to attack a Ukrainian city, specifically Kharkiv.
Experts say this will allow Russia to intensify its attacks on #civilian targets, killing people, doing costly damage, and putting a strain on Ukraine’s air defenses.
The two heavily sanctioned autocracies have grown progressively closer since the start of Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion.

Russia using relatively accurate, recently designed North Korean missiles against Ukraine
Russia used more North Korean missiles to attack Ukraine in the past few days, and U.S. officials believe they are "proving as accurate as Russia's home-built" weapons, the New York Times reported in its Jan. 23 morning briefing.
Moscow and Pyongyang have significantly increased their military ties since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. According to Ukrainian military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov, North Korea is now Russia's largest arms supplier.

North Korea currently Russia's largest arms supplier
North Korea has transferred "a significant amount" of artillery ammunition to Russia
"This allowed Russia to breathe a little,” Budanov said. “Without (North Korea's) help, the situation would have been catastrophic.”
Russia has been struggling to keep up with the production of its weapons and munitions at a rate that matches their usage on the front. As a result, they have been compelled to seek military assistance from countries such as North Korea.
"This has always been considered beneath them, it’s an indignity,"
