"Russia is turning to North Korea for its weapons in pursuit of its cynical and ill-conceived military aims in Ukraine.

According to the statement, any support for North Korea's own illegal weapons programs risks significantly undermining the UN's long-standing commitment to security, and further destabilizing the region.

"North Korea is subject to a robust sanctions regime, and we will continue to work with our partners to ensure that North Korea pays a high price for supporting Russia's illegal war in Ukraine," the spokesperson said.

The White House said earlier that during its latest missile attacks on Ukraine, Russia used at least several ballistic missiles supplied by North Korea.
