(Keystone-ATS) This vote by the Council of the Federation, which comes two weeks after that of the deputies, left little doubt. No senator voted “against”, while Moscow and Pyongyang have made a rapid rapprochement since Russia launched its attack on Ukraine in February 2022.
Concluded during a rare visit by Vladimir Putin to Pyongyang in June, this treaty between two beasts of the United States, notably provides for “immediate military aid” reciprocal in the event of an attack against one of the two countries.
A participation of North Korean soldiers in the fighting, which the West believes is imminent, would be a new blow for the Ukrainian troops, lacking men and weapons, who are retreating on many sections of the front.
