The U.S. intelligence reports that North Korea supplied Russia with weapons for use in Ukraine were not true, the country said.
Putin is in North Korea with Kim.
A statement from a senior official at the country's defense ministry was carried by the Korean Central News Agency.
The vice-director general of the general bureau of equipment of the ministry of national defense in North Korea denied reports that the country was selling arms to Russia.
The official said that Washington should stop making reckless statements.
The official said that the UN security council sanctions against the regime were cooked up by the U.S. and should not be taken as law.
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has left it isolated on the international stage and has left Moscow struggling to replenish its troops. The situation in Russia is desperate as it is facing heavy losses, sanctions and Ukrainian counter-offensives, and the Kremlin plans to partially mobilize army reserves on Wednesday. Russia's military-industrial capacity has been hampered by the ongoing sanctions. The group of international friends willing to purchase goods from the Kremlin is diminishing. Even powerful allies like India and China, initially reluctant to criticize the war in Ukraine since it started in February, have begun to do so. Few nations have supported Russia's invasion or helped it skirt sanctions. According to U.S. intelligence reports, Putin bought drones from Iran and then turned to North Korea to buy millions of rockets. According to the report, Putin could be forced to purchase more weapons from North Korea.
There are three. That is how many countries support the independence of the two self-proclaimed republics of Luhansk and Donetsk in Ukranian. North Korea and Syria are allies of Moscow. Moscow says that the occupied regions will hold referendums on joining Russia, which will not be recognized by the Ukrainians.
According to reports, the U.S. intelligence shows that Russia is buying weapons from North Korea.
