CSIS' Korea Chair is hosting a virtual event on the renewed relationship between Russia and North Korea. Driven by Russia’s need for ammunition for the war in Ukraine and North Korea’s need for food, energy, and military technology, these burgeoning ties pose challenges for the U.S. and its allies in Europe and the Indo-Pacific region. In Europe, North Korea’s assistance may allow Putin to prevail in Ukraine when U.S. support is in question. In Asia, Russian military technology could advance North Korea’s military satellite, nuclear submarine, and ICBM programs.

The Korea Chair is joined by Amb. Michael McFaul, the former U.S. Ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014, and a former Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Russian and Eurasian Affairs at the National Security Council at the White House (2009-2012).
