"Russia Deploys North Korean Ballistic Missiles Against Ukraine, Flouting UN Resolutions"

The White House has reported that Russia has used North Korean-supplied short-range ballistic missiles in Ukraine, marking an escalation in Pyongyang's support for Moscow. This development has implications for the war in Ukraine and security in Asia, particularly on the Korean Peninsula. Analysts suggest that North Korea could gain valuable data on missile performance and penetration of defense systems from these battlefield uses. In return, North Korea may be seeking military assistance from Russia, including advanced technology and equipment, which could alter the balance of power in East Asia. Meanwhile, Russia benefits from replenishing its missile stocks and continuing its military campaign in Ukraine without depleting its own arsenal.
