A study published by German think tank Friedrich Naumann Foundation on Thursday, Unequal Partnership reports that North Korea has been delivering weapons, as well as fighters, worth more than 9.8 billion dollars to Russia since 2023. Pyongyang’s gains however are trivial in comparison, amounting to as little as an estimated $457m to $1.19bn.
Russia and North Korea, summarily have an uneven deal, with Moscow reaping far greater support for its war in Ukraine than the benefits received by Pyongyang, according to a study.
