In two articles published online this week, Moscow analyst Aleksandr Nemets details the evidence many have assembled showing that Moscow is heavily involved in both the rocket program of North Korea and Pyongyang’s “aggressive plans” to use it against other countries (see “Зато они ‘делают’ ракеты” and “Системный подход“).
It is absolutely essential, he says, that South Korea, Japan and the United States understand that everything that is now brewing in the region is what Moscow or more precisely Putin wants” and not some rogue action by Kim Jong Un as many imagine.
In the first of these articles, Nemets traces the history of Russian deliveries of missiles to North Korea in recent decades and the ways in which, apparently with some Russian assistance, Pyongyang has modified them, and then offers three main conclusions:

If this was even remotely close to true, the Chinese would make the accusation a veritable chorus.
I don’t buy it.
Liquid fueled IRBM technology is 60 years old.
Solid fueled with some accuracy is 55yrs old. The onset of the ICBM age.
I bet even Iran or Pakistan could field a reliable rocket force./s
Gee...
And to top it off the article is from that bastion of truth and accuracy in media...Ukraine.
Euromaidan Press......hmmm
NO, The CLINTON’S made it possible.
CLINTONS, actually
IMHo, you can't rule anything out yet when it comes to NK including criminals in Russia, Ukraine, and half of Eastern Europe, but the leads to engines from Ukraine and missile help from either Iran or Pakistan are more likely.
With missiles that can't get anywhere near the US, NK can incinerate a lot of Chinese, Russians, or Indians. Consider who likes the idea of those countries being targets when you're considering any of them as possible sources of the sudden leap in NK technology. After all, whoever is responsible is going to carefully lay false trails along with covering their own tracks.
JMHo, (and just like butt-holes, everyone has one)
LOL!
Before we go running off screaming just consider who wants conflict between the USA and Russia. Frankly I don’t think Putin does. The World Bank and Soros on the other hand would profit immensely.
The United States helped make the Norks nuclear ambitions possible.
North Korea’s Missile Success Is Linked to Ukrainian Plant, Investigators Say

Probably more reliable than Euromaidan Press.
Including the obvious one that NK was the creation of China, and has remained under its tight control ?
I can't see it any other way.
Aside from the history, it's so perfect for them! ( i.e. China ) ... what a set up!
To me, it's a joke!
I have read that Russia and Ukraine both helped North Korea’s rocket program, along with China, Pakistan and Iran.
Exactly.
Ukraine tricked North Korean spies into trying to steal fake nuke plans on camera.
The specific plans the spies thought they were capturing showed schematics for the SS-24 Scalpel intercontinental ballistic missile, a Soviet-designed missile that can carry 10 independently targetable warheads across vast distances. Such a weapon would be a massive improvement over North Korea’s current fledgling ICBM fleet.
But the designs photographed by the North Koreans were fake, and moments after the cameras flashed authorities broke into the room and detained them. The spies are now serving eight years in prison.
