Results of Vladimir Putin’s visit to North Korea: Review of the documents adopted and their impact on the security situation in Northeast Asia Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to North Korea, or the DPRK, was an important milestone not only in terms of bilateral relations, but it was also the next step toward transforming the global security architecture. One can speak of a self-fulfilling prophecy: in response to pressure from the collective West,...
... case a century ago, when Japan was fully committed to building its “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” by military means. Today, there are periodical clashes or dangerous incidents between China and India, between India and Pakistan, between DPRK and ROK, but these clashes and incidents so far have never escalated to the level of a large-scale military confrontation. The most recent European example is also a clear warning signal to Asian nations against a reckless saber rattling that can ...
On scenarios and conditions for the development of relations between Moscow and Pyongyang Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to North Korea, or the DPRK, which has been under discussion since January 2024, could not only be perceived as a reciprocal visit after the North Korean leader’s visit to the Russian Far East in the fall of 2023 but also as an extremely important step in bolstering relations ...

... "monster missile" - a Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile, weighing up to 110 tons and with a diameter of 2.5 meters. Prior to that, in January of the same year, a hypersonic missile was tested. With the launch of these missiles, the DPRK withdrew from the moratorium it announced in the spring of 2018 on the launch of ballistic missiles with a range of more than 5,000 km, as well as nuclear tests. The launches have clearly demonstrated that the DPRK has finally become a nuclear power ...
The current state of severe economic turbulence prefers a dominant, state-controlled, centralized economy, while experiments with market economy are phased out Over the past two or three years, media outlets all across the globe have been emphasizing North Korea’s growing isolation from the outside world, marking the country’s inevitable economic slump, which may potentially lead to the dissolution of the state. The economic siege appears to come from two fronts: international sanctions and sanctions...
The Russia-China proposal for a “double freeze” settlement remains the most feasible solution, although far from ideal Analytical pieces—typically prepared by self-professed experts—abound as to whether denuclearization of North Korea could be possible or what its parameters would be. Such ruminations became particularly popular by the end of Donald Trump’s presidency when the negotiations eventually found themselves in deadlock. However, I would rather call it a “freeze,” and while this may not...
