Russia and North Korea's relationship is based on shared animosity towards democratic values and short-term convenience. Moscow needs munitions for military targets, and Pyongyang requires food imports, access to technology, and avenues to the world financial system.
The partnership significantly complicates U.S. foreign policy, with Russia potentially providing support that undermines U.S. efforts through vetoing UN Security Council sanctions. This could bolster Kim's confidence, leading to more provocations against South Korea and Japan.
