From our special correspondent in Kazan,
Russian diplomacy yesterday denied nothing and this Thursday Vladimir Putin went as far as indirect confirmation. Asked about satellite photos of Pyongyang troops on Russian territory, this is what he replied: “ Photos are a serious thing. If they are taken, they reflect something “.
During his state visit to North Korea last June, Vladimir Putin signed a new strategic partnership agreement with his counterpart. A pact of mutual assistance in the event of aggression specified by its article 4, Vladimir Putin immediately mentioned it:
“As for our relations with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, as you know, our strategic partnership agreement was ratified today. There is Article 4. We never doubted that the Korean leaders took our agreements seriously. But what we will do and how we will proceed within the framework of this article is our business. We are in contact with our North Korean friends. We will see how this process plays out. In any case, the Russian army acts confidently in all directions »
This treaty between Moscow and Pyongyang has not finished its legislative journey. It must pass the upper house of Parliament on November 6, before being signed by Vladimir Putin.
