Russia is shipping refined petroleum to North Korea, which is supplying Russia with weapons against Ukraine, officials say.
Russia's commercial shipments of refined petroleum to North Korea exceed the annual limits set by the U.N. Security Council to rein in Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program, according to U.S. officials.
In March alone, Russia shipped more than 165,000 barrels of refined petroleum to North Korea, an amount equal to one-third of the entire annual global cap of 500,000 barrels that can be shipped to the nation, White House national security spokesman John Kirby said on Thursday.
