"What North Korea has been transferring to Russia, they have been transferring and will continue to transfer. They will not transfer more than the amount we know about... We know what the total amount of artillery, by the way, the Soviet Union's artillery, was transferred to them," Zelensky said.

According to him, about 1.5 million pieces of artillery ammunition were sent to Russia by North Korea.

He noted that the number of missiles transferred is unknown, but Russia has definitely used North Korean missiles to strike Ukraine.
