Pro-russian media have once again launched a wave of disinformation about military assistance from other countries. This time, the propagandists refer to russian Security Council Vice President dmitry medvedev, who said that moscow does not receive and has never received military equipment or weapons from other countries, and that this topic is being artificially raised in the West to discredit russia.

It is true: There is ample evidence (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-68933778) that russia receives a significant amount of military equipment and assistance from other countries. As of November 2024, South Korean intelligence estimated that since August 2023, North Korea has sent more than 9 million artillery shells, missiles, and other weapons to russia in more than 13,000 containers (https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Ukraine-war/North-Korea-sends-more-than-9m-artillery-shells-to-Russia-South-says).
In October 2024, thousands of North Korean troops were also deployed to the war zone (https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-north-korea-war-735ab717dcf92a718adcb68bfbddc653). Iran has been supplying missiles and a large number of drones since 2022 (https://www.euronews.com/next/2024/04/22/how-irans-kamikaze-shahed-drones-are-being-used-in-ukraine), while China has been providing critical components to support russia's military industry (https://www.nzz.ch/english/china-is-helping-russia-build-weapons-used-in-ukraine-ld.1831332). Evidence of all these supplies has often been found in visual images and in the wreckage of weapons used against Ukraine.
All of these steps were taken as a result of setbacks on the frontline. But russia blatantly denies such involvement of other countries in its aggressive war against Ukraine, just as it denies all its war crimes. Although the agreements on cooperation in the military and defence sector with these countries have been officially recognised by the Kremlin. Lies upon lies are the essence of modern russia.
