MOSCOW —\u00a0Russian lawmakers on Thursday ratified a\u00a0pact<\/a>\u00a0with North Korea envisioning mutual military assistance, a move that comes as the U.S. confirmed the deployment of 3,000 North Korean troops to Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower house of the Russian parliament, the State Duma, voted quickly to endorse the \u201ccomprehensive strategic partnership\u201d treaty<\/a> that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin signed with North Korean leader King Jong Un on a visit<\/a> to Pyongyang in June. The upper house is expected to follow suit soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pact obliges Russia and North Korea to immediately provide military assistance using \u201call means\u201d if either is attacked. It marked the strongest link between Moscow and Pyongyang since the end of the Cold War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. said<\/a> Wednesday that 3,000 North Korean troops have been deployed to Russia and are training at several locations, calling the move very serious and warning that those forces will be \u201cfair game\u201d if they go into combat in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia and North Korea have previously rejected assertions by the U.S. and its allies that Pyongyang has given Moscow ballistic missiles and millions of artillery shells for use in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked in June whether North Korean troops could fight alongside Russian forces in Ukraine under the pact, Putin said there was no need for that but he also announced for the first time that Russia could provide weapons to Pyongyang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Observers said that in exchange for military support Moscow could share sophisticated weapons technologies with Pyongyang to help improve its ballistic missile and satellite capabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
