The official said North Korean officers are already on the ground in Russia-occupied Ukraine to observe Russian forces and study the battlefield, but Kyiv hasn’t seen any North Korean units fighting yet. The United States says North Korea has sent large amounts of munitions, including artillery shells, to Russia.
