(Reuters) – The head of private Russian military company the Wagner Group on Thursday dismissed as “gossip and speculation” a U.S. assertion that it had taken delivery of an arms shipment from North Korea.
“Everyone knows that North Korea has not been supplying any weapons to Russia for a long time. And no such efforts have even been made,” Wagner owner Yevgeny Prigozhin said in a statement.
