Russian ambassador to North Korea Alexander Matsegora on Wednesday said Russia only exports a few hundred tons of domestically-produced oil products to the DPRK each month.

Speaking to the country’s Ria Novosti news agency, Matsegora insisted that only small volumes of Russian oil products were making their way into the DPRK.

“Our monthly supplies (to North Korea) are small – within 200-400 tons, maybe slightly less or slightly more,” the ambassador said.

“In short, our share in the total volume of North Korean imports of petroleum products is low.”
