Russia ratifies mutual military assistance treaty with North Korea

THE upper house of Russian parliament today ratified a treaty with North Korea for mutual military assistance.

The move comes as Ukraine says its troops have engaged for the first time with North Korean units supporting the Russian invasion.

The “comprehensive strategic partnership treaty,” which Russian President Vladimir Putin signed with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on a visit to Pyongyang in June, obliges Russia and North Korea to immediately provide military assistance using “all means” if either is attacked.
