"Russia Deploys North Korean Ballistic Missiles in Ukraine, Flouting UN Resolutions, US Reports"

The United States has accused Russia of using ballistic missiles supplied by North Korea in its war against Ukraine, describing it as a significant escalation and a violation of UN Security Council resolutions. The US plans to address this issue at the UN Security Council and impose additional sanctions on those facilitating arms transfers. North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, has called for increased missile launch vehicle production, following previous discussions on military cooperation with Russia. The US also suspects Russia may seek to purchase missiles from Iran. The UK has condemned Russia's actions, and the US is urging Congress to approve additional funding for Ukraine to support its defense against these threats.
