Budanov: DPRK Asks Russia For Nuclear Technology In Exchange For Missiles, People

The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate has revealed the secret provisions of the deal.

North Korea has sent Russia missiles and men for a war against Ukraine. In exchange, North Korea asked Moscow for tactical nuclear weapons technology.

This was reported by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry, Kyrylo Budanov, who is quoted by The Economist.

As the publication notes, North Korea does not give Russia its people or weapons for charitable purposes. The increased co-operation is the result of a mutual assistance treaty signed by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Pyongyang in June 2024.

Budanov describes the secret provisions of the deal as a quid pro quo: Russian money and know-how in exchange for Korean men and missiles.

He says Russia is helping North Korea circumvent sanctions and ‘strengthen’ its nuclear capabilities. The MID chief believes that Russia is transferring some technologies for low-yield tactical nuclear weapons and submarine missile launch systems to North Korea.
