Russia is turning to old ally North Korea to resupply its arsenal for the war in Ukraine

Along with ramping up its domestic arms production, Moscow is turning to an old ally with a vast arsenal — North Korea. United States officials expect North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to visit Russia in the coming days to seal a possible deal on munitions transfer with President Vladimir Putin.
