Putin doesn't deny North Korea troops are in Russia as partnership ratified

President Vladimir Putin did not deny U.S. claims that North Korea had sent troops to Russia for training against possible deployment in Ukraine, but said that it was up to Moscow how to run its mutual defence clause with Pyongyang. This comes after the lower house of Russia's parliament, the State Duma, voted on Thursday to ratify a treaty of partnership between Russia and North Korea. Meanwhile, China says it is not aware of North Korean troops in Russia.
