White House: Russia’s Wagner received arms from North KoreaWASHINGTON (AP) — The White House said Thursday that the Wagner Group, a private Russian military company, has taken delivery of an arms shipment from North Korea to help bolster its forces as it fights side-by-side with Russian troops in Ukraine.“But we’re certainly concerned that North Korea is planning to deliver more military equipment.”On Friday, North Korea again flatly denied it has shipped munitions to Russia, calling the U.S. accusation of arms transfers to Russia “the groundless theory” cooked up by “some dishonest forces.”The White House has expressed alarm about Wagner’s growing involvement in the war as it has been particularly active in the eastern Donbas region.Kirby said in certain instances Russian military officials have even been “subordinate to Wagner’s command.”Biden administration officials said with the arms sales to the private military group, North Korea is violating U.N. sanctions that ban Pyongyang from importing or exporting weapons.Russia has also turned to Iran to provide drones to use against Ukraine, and the Biden administration has expressed concern that Russia may seek to acquire additional advanced conventional weapons from Iran.The statement called the report “false” and “the most absurd red herring, which is not worth any comment or interpretation.”Some experts say North Korea may be seeking Russian fuel as well as technology transfers and supplies needed to advance its military capabilities as it pursues more sophisticated weapons systems targeting the United States and its allies."
