Seoul, South Korea CNN —Russia’s failures on the battlefield in Ukraine could turn into a win for North Korea.
It would also come after 17 years of UN sanctions aimed at hampering North Korea’s ability to build a fully functioning nuclear weapons and ballistic missile force.
North Korea has attempted two satellite launches this year; both ended in failure.
Russia’s “purchases will undermine the North Korea sanctions regime and help to generate revenue for the Kim regime.
“North Korea makes good what I call heavy industrial weapons,” Schuster said.
