"North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has reportedly offered his “full and
unconditional support” to Russian President Vladimir Putin during his visit to
eastern Russia this week.
Analysts speculate this could mean ammunition for Russia’s war in Ukraine,
given North Korea is believed to have large quantities of ammunition compatible
with Russian artillery. It may be of limited help to Russia, though, given
North Korean ammunition has low reliability and accuracy and the fact Russia
still needs to transfer it thousands of miles to the front.
But what does Kim want? As always, North Korea is in need of food, fertiliser
and potentially other humanitarian aid. However, it seems unlikely Kim would
travel all the way to Russia solely for food aid."
