Arms deliveries are condemned by the US, Japan and South Korea  

South Korea, Japan and the United States strongly condemn North Korean arms deliveries to Russia, of which they now claim to have evidence. This is stated by the countries in a joint statement according to several news agencies.  

According to previous reports, containers delivered by North Korea to Russia have since been transported to a Russian ammunition warehouse near the border with Ukraine, writes Reuters.  

In recent weeks, North Korea has delivered over 1,000 containers of military equipment, the UK Ministry of Defense writes on X. If North Korea continues at that rate, the country is on its way to becoming one of Russia's most important arms suppliers, along with Iran and Belarus. 

Russia and North Korea have previously denied that Pyongyang supplied weapons to Russia to be used in the war of aggression against Ukraine

Ukrainian concern after the election of the president: "Bad news"  

The Republicans in the US House of Representatives are divided on the issue of continued aid to Ukraine. After the election of Mike Johnson, there is concern in Ukraine that military supplies will not be delivered, SVT Nyheter's Ukraine and USA correspondents report. 

After supporting Ukraine wholeheartedly in the beginning of the Russian invasion, Johnson has swung and several times voted no to US aid packages for the country, writes The Hill. And since the Speaker controls the agenda of the House of Representatives, Johnson now has more power to implement his own political agenda.  

- The election of Mike Johnson is very bad news for Ukraine, says SVT's US correspondent Fouad Youcefi.
