TL;DR Summary
North Korea has ratified a strategic partnership treaty with Russia, which reportedly includes a secret clause allowing North Korean troops to be deployed to Ukraine.

The treaty, signed in June and ratified by Russian lawmakers last month, will take effect once ratification documents are exchanged. Meanwhile, South Korea is engaging in diplomatic efforts, including President Yoon Suk Yeol's attempt to strengthen ties with former U.S. President Trump amid concerns over North Korea's military involvement.
