Russia s hunt for weapons to fire in Ukraine could be a lifeline for North Korea, where even a relatively modest arms deal would help lift the country's cash-starved and stagnant economy.
The U.S. made new accusations this month that Kim Jong Un is providing arms and ammunition to Russian President Vladimir Putin's war, including sending shells and rockets. The weapons won't do much to alter the battlefield, but sales would open a new stream of revenue for a country isolated from much of world trade, according to the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden.
While North Korea denies the U.S. allegations of arms transfers, any deal would be well timed for Kim. His border closures pushed North Korea's already anemic economy into one of its biggest contractions in decades.
