Go to the Washington media bank. File photoWASHINGTON Sep 7 The U.S. has no evidence that Russia has received munitions from North Korea and is using them in Ukraine, but believes such a deal is being worked on, said the National Security Council's coordinator for strategic Communications John Kirby. Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya previously suggested that information about the planned purchase of millions of artillery shells and missiles is «another fake spreading.» There are signs that they are in the process of acquisition … but there are no signs that the purchase committed and, of course, there are no signs that these weapons are used in Ukraine,» Kirby said. The New York Times, citing declassified US intelligence data, previously reported that the Russian Federation allegedly buys millions of artillery shells and missiles from North Korea. According to the publication, this indicates that the sanctions «seriously limited supply chains and forced Moscow to turn to rogue countries for military supplies.» These statements were later repeated by the Pentagon. Russian experts considered this information to be untrue. Thus, according to Alexei Fenenko, Associate Professor of the Faculty of World Politics at Lomonosov Moscow State University, which he expressed to RIA Novosti, such reports from the American press only cause laughter and are «launched» in order to create a false impression of the state of Russia.
