About it at the briefing stated Deputy Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh.
According to her, it is currently possible to observe that Russia remains isolated due to the continuation of the war in Ukraine.
“So we’re now seeing Russia in a pretty desperate state and looking for support from North Korea when it comes to munitions,” Singh said.
It said the United States has yet to see a formal deal announced by either country, but it is something they are watching and waiting for.
“And I think that any country that supports Russia in its unprovoked war in Ukraine is certainly going to not only perpetuate the conflict, but also directly participate in the killing of innocent Ukrainian civilians, officials and those on the battlefield “, the spokeswoman said.
She also added that supplying Russia with any kind of weapons would again violate UN Security Council resolutions that she herself voted for.
