OSLO – North Korea (North Korea) might be able to increase its supply of artillery ammunition Russia for war on Ukraine , but it’s unlikely to make a big difference. This was stated by General United States of America (AS), Mark Milley.
This was expressed by the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff when he arrived in Norway to attend a NATO meeting which begins on Saturday and will partly focus on the conflict.
The US Army general said a meeting between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin might lead to North Korea providing Soviet-era 152 mm artillery shells to Moscow. But he said it was not clear how much or how fast.
“Will there be a big difference? I’m skeptical of that,” Milley told reporters who accompanied him, as quoted from Al ArabiyaSunday (17/9/2023).
He said that while he didn’t want to downplay gun assistance: “I doubt it would (be a) determining factor.”
Foreign governments and experts speculate that Kim Jong-un may supply ammunition to Russia in exchange for receiving weapons or advanced technology from Russia.
Milley and defense chiefs from NATO countries will meet at the Holmenkollen ski area on the edge of Oslo over the next few days to discuss support for Ukraine and other regional defense issues.
From Oslo, Milley will attend the Ukrainian Defense Contact Group’s monthly meeting in Germany on Tuesday. The group, led by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, is the main international forum for mobilizing military support for Ukraine.
