Russia has revived its oil trade with long-time ally North Korea as the Kremlin's war on Ukraine drags on.
Russia has exported 67,000 barrels of oil to North Korea since December, a UN report said.
North Korea has been accused of sending Russia weapons for its war in Ukraine.
A State Department spokesperson told Reuters that the US had confirmed North Korea delivered weapons, including rockets and missiles, to the Russia's Wagner mercenary group in November.
The UN has banned North Korea from selling arms, though it has reportedly provided weapons to Iran, Syria, and Uganda.
