Russia’s war on Ukraine seems to be transforming relations on the Korean Peninsula. Since 2022, South Korea has supported Ukraine and the western sanctions regime against Russia, while Russia has sought greater military cooperation with North Korea. Our panel of experts will discuss the shifting ties between and among Russia, South Korea, and North Korea, and place these developments in historical context. How did North Korea play China and the Soviet Union off against each other during the Cold War? How do we interpret the changing bilateral relationship between North Korea and Russia? What role does China play in evolving relations on the Korean Peninsula and what can we expect from regional security more generally?
This event is hosted by the Harriman Institute and co-sponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute.
