North Korea has approved a treaty that formally elevates its relationship with Russia to a level akin to a military alliance. According to the Korean Central News Agency, North Korea’s Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Russia was officially chartered in Pyongyang on June 19, with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signing the decree on November 11.

According to North Korean law, the Supreme People’s Assembly holds the authority to ratify treaties; however, the Chairman of the State Affairs Commission can sanction “important treaties.” Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the treaty on November 9, and for it to take effect, both countries must exchange signed documents.

The treaty includes a “mutual support in case of emergency” clause, specifying that if one country is attacked, the other shall provide military assistance under Article 51 of the UN Charter and their respective domestic laws.

With both countries agreeing to the terms of the treaty, experts predict that North Korean military involvement in the Ukraine conflict will intensify.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Monday that Ukrainian forces are engaged in combat with approximately 50,000 enemy troops near Kursk.

Zelenskyy had previously claimed that around 11,000 North Korean troops had been deployed in the Kursk region.
