When asked whether Russian Federation  has actually already hit Ukraine with missiles from North Korea, Ignat answered:

"Sometimes we wait several days for information on whether it was S-400 or Iskander... So far, we have no information that such missiles were used. The statement came from the United States, so we will study the wreckage and then we can say  whether this is a fact or not. I can't confirm it yet." 

Addendum

John Kirby, the coordinator of the US National Security Council, reported that Russia had used North Korean ballistic missiles against Ukraine .  According to him, the launches took place on December 30 and January 2.
