Explainer: How much is North Korea making from Russia?
One of the most significant geopolitical changes that we have seen in Northeast Asia and the Korean Peninsula as a result of Russia's war in Ukraine has been the burgeoning relationship between North Korea and Russia.
CSIS Victor Cha explains what North Korean leader Kim Jong-un may be giving to Vladimir Putin and Russia, and why the North Korea-Russia relationship has become a threat like no other.
전략국제문제연구소 (CSIS) 빅터 차 한국석좌는 북한 김정은 국무위원장이 푸틴 대통령 그리고 러시아에게 무엇을 제공하고 있는지 설명하고, 북러관계가 그 어떤 위협과도 다른 심각한 문제로 부상한 이유에 대해 분석합니다.
Visit our Beyond Parallel website for the North Korea-Russia timeline: https://beyondparallel.csis.org/timeline-of-north-korea-russia-cooperation-since-2022/
Note: Our estimates of what North Korea may have earned from giving ammunitions, artillery, missiles, soldiers and workers is based on high estimates of 9 to 12 million rounds of ammunitions, 15,000 to 30,000 soldiers, 15,000 to 21,000 workers, and hundreds of artillery and missiles.
