As a result of the sanctions, the DPRK is running out of money to support the work of diplomatic institutions, thanks to which Pyongyang was previously most likely able to cash out for the sale of contraband, etc.

Now Kim Jong-un is receiving money from Russia, sending it ammunition and possibly short-range ballistic missiles, writes the South Korean publication Yonhap.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff estimates that about 2,000 containers of military equipment and ammunition were sent from the port of Rajin to Vladivostok, Russia—more than the White House previously reported.
The DPRK could also supply Russia with ammunition for T-series tanks, anti-tank guided missiles, rocket launchers, rifles and machine guns. North Korean ships were spotted in Russia once a week between August and September, but since October three or four ships have been sighted every three to four days.
