According to the newspaper, citing US and South Korean officials, more and more weapons are arriving by sea and rail to replenish the stocks of Russian troops. Rail traffic at the Tumangan-Hasan crossing on the border between Russia and North Korea reached a record high in 2024. At the same time, the number of railcars passing through the border has tripled.
