The White House on Wednesday accused North Korea of covertly shipping a "significant number" of artillery shells to Russia in support of its invasion of Ukraine.
The White House would not specify the mode of transportation or whether the U.S. or other nations would attempt to interdict the shipments to Russia. "We don't believe that they are in such a quantity that they would change the direction of this war or tangibly change the momentum either in the East or in the South" where some of the heaviest fighting in Ukraine is taking place, Kirby said.
The North Koreans have shown interest in sending construction workers to help rebuild Russian-occupied territories in the country's east.
