This is not Iran. Budanov named the ally of Russia that hurts Ukraine the most.

The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, stated that North Korea is the most dangerous military ally of Russia for Ukraine. The volumes of weapons and ammunition supplies from North Korea directly affect the intensity of hostilities. Speaking at the 20th annual meeting of the Yalta European Strategy, Budanov emphasized this fact.

A ship brings ammunition, and eight days later, the fighting intensifies.

According to Budanov, North Korea is a greater threat to Ukraine than Iran and China.

The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate reported that intelligence is currently looking for ways to counter Russia and North Korea's cooperation.

Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, ordered to focus on the development and production of new attack drones using artificial intelligence technologies. He also emphasized the importance of developing maritime unmanned complexes and enhancing their combat capabilities.
