News Russian oil shipments to North Korea increased again in September: UNShipments still only a fraction of previous years, however Russia increased exports of oil products to North Korea in September, a recent report by Moscow to the UN shows, sending more than triple the volume it shipped two months earlier. UN resolutions require member states to report their monthly fuel shipments to the DPRK, which are then published on the 1718 Committee’s website. The totals should allow the UN to calculate the total number of oil deliveries to North Korea and ensure that exports fall below the yearly 500,000 barrel quota.
