North Korea supplies Russia with shells better than the West supplies Ukraine. This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba in an interview with German Bild.

"Although Ukraine has significantly increased its own production and will continue to do so, we still see that the Western defense industry is not able to produce enough artillery ammunition. As crazy as it may sound, it seems that North Korea is a more effective partner for Russia than friends for us. This is ridiculous. And this must change," the Ukrainian Foreign Minister said.

Kuleba said that Kyiv appreciates the assistance provided, but "the scale of the war requires more" and faster decision-making.

"When it comes to making specific decisions, we see how our partners sometimes drown in endless discussions. But there is no time to sink, we have to swim," Kuleba said.

He also assured that Ukraine will not attack Russian territory with German long-range Taurus missiles if they are transferred, but only at Russian military infrastructure on Ukrainian territory.
