Россия и Северная Корея на пороге стратегического партнерства: какие последствия принесет ратификация нового договора?
Russian President Vladimir Putin has submitted a draft ratification of the agreement on "comprehensive strategic partnership" between Russia and North Korea for consideration by the State Duma. This document was signed by both parties on June 19, 2024, and includes commitments to provide military and other assistance in the event of an armed attack on either country.

The primary aim of the agreement is to strengthen cooperation and establish a close partnership between the two nations amid international isolation.

According to the text of the document, Moscow and Pyongyang have agreed to support each other not only in military matters but also in other areas, as a response to potential sanctions. Should one of the parties face international restrictions, the other signatory will be required to take "practical measures" to mitigate the negative impact of these sanctions. This includes safeguarding economic ties and properties, as well as limiting the dissemination of information that could be exploited by third countries to escalate sanctions.

Furthermore, the parties express their commitment to establishing global strategic stability and creating a fair multipolar system of international relations. This partnership between Russia and North Korea is viewed by many as an effort to bolster their positions in the face of increasing international isolation, particularly against the backdrop of stringent sanctions imposed on both nations.
