    Russia is estimated to have supplied North Korea with more than a million barrels of oil since March this year, according to satellite imagery analysis from the Open Source Centre, a non-profit research group based in the UK.

    The first oil transfer documented by the Open Source Centre in a new report, was on 7 March 2024, seven months after it first emerged Pyongyang was sending Moscow weapons.

    Not that we care, but these Anglo non profits are basically just talking heads for the military. Who the feck knows what the truth is.

      My guess is, when two maximally demonised by western media states are doing some highly nefarious giving things, especially oil which is the holy grail of US brain and just “giving” it is sacrilege, then in reality they are trading.

      Of course this is not what is implied here, they 100% mean this is payment for the so far completely invisible 1000, 10000, 13000, 100000 DPRK soldiers doing invisible things in Ukraine.
