Military cooperation between Russia and North Korea continues to deepen as Russia ramps up drone production during its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, journalists have noted.
“At the same time, North Korea is seeking to strengthen its armed forces,” the report says.
Last June, Russia and North Korea signed a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty that obliges each country to provide military assistance in case of emergency.
After this, it became known that Pyongyang had deployed troops on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Recently, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, stated that Russia has begun to help North Korea develop the production of long-range attack drones.
