Abstract:
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has great implications across a range of issues for the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia as a whole. The key questions centre around ‘what lessons, if any, did the leaders of North Korea and China take from the conflict?” There is no way of answering this definitively, but on it rests the stability not just of the Korean Peninsula, but the broader region.
