Will the agreement enter into force?
On the possibility of crystallizing the agreement, the American expert in international and strategic affairs, Irina Zuckerman, said: "I doubt that this agreement can be implemented.

Relations between Pyongyang and Moscow go back to the Soviet era, and after his first election as president, Putin sought to normalize relations with North Korea, and met three times with Kim Jong Il.
Putin was the first Russian president to visit North Korea, and in 2019, Kim Jong Un met Putin in Vladivostok.
When Putin launched the military operation against Ukraine on February 24, North Korea was one of five countries that voted against a United Nations resolution condemning the invasion, and Pyongyang became the third country to recognize the independence of the breakaway states of Donetsk andLuhansk in eastern Ukraine.
