On June 19, local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during his visit to Pyongyang, North Korea, that according to the treaty signed between Russia and North Korea, when one of the two countries is invaded by another country, the other side needs to provide assistance.

On October 14, local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted a draft law to the Russian State Duma on approving the Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Russia and North Korea. Article 4 of the treaty stipulates that if one party is attacked by one or more countries and is in a state of war, the other party will immediately provide military and other assistance to the former by all available means.

South Korea and other countries claim that North Korea sent troops to aid Russia, the Russian Foreign Ministry responded: It is groundless hype

According to CCTV News, regarding the claims by South Korea and other countries that North Korea sent soldiers to Russia, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova said on October 23rd local time that the so-called North Korea sending soldiers to Russia was "hype made out of nothing". Russia's cooperation with North Korea in military and other fields complies with the norms of international law and will not cause any damage to South Korea.

Zakharova said that tracing back the chain of events, it is not difficult to understand who hyped up the fake news for what purpose. The report on this topic first appeared in the Ukrainian media, then was captured by the South Korean intelligence department, and then the NATO Secretary-General asked to speak with the South Korean leader about it. This is related to Ukraine's request for South Korea to provide Ukraine with lethal weapons for two years. South Korea's provocation was obviously instigated by the West. The Russian side believes that the South Korean authorities should not be in cahoots with the Kiev regime.

According to reports from AFP and Yonhap News Agency, on the 21st local time, a head of the North Korean permanent mission to the United Nations attended the First Committee meeting of the 79th UN General Assembly in New York and refuted the South Korean government's recent news that North Korea had sent troops to aid Russia, saying that this was an unfounded rumor.
