The US believes that the source of supplies for North Korea's missile program comes from Russia.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the Russian company Parsek, which is on the US sanctions list, a "key source" of goods and technology for North Korea's missile program.
According to him, in the years 2016-2021, DPRK citizen O Yong Ho cooperated with Parsek company and its development director, Russian citizen Roman Alar, to purchase Kevlar thread, aramid fiber, aviation fuel, bearings and high-precision milling machines.
“The connection between O Yong Ho, Roman Alar, and Parsek LLC is a key source of goods and technology... for the DPRK's missile program,” Blinken said in a statement.
