Russia is actively looking to acquire weapons and munitions from North Korea in exchange for food, a U.S. National Security Council official said.

The potential arrangement is being brokered by a Slovakian arms dealer, NSC spokesman John Kirby said in a virtual briefing with reporters Thursday.

“We remain concerned that North Korea will provide further support [of] Russia’s military operations against Ukraine and we have new information that Russia is actively seeking to acquire additional munitions from North Korea,” Kirby said.
