Russian President Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signed a strategic partnership agreement on June 19, including clauses on mutual defense, causing a significant shift since the end of the Cold War. The agreement's specific scope is unclear, but it is expected to impact Washington, Seoul, and Tokyo. This marks a departure from past actions where Russia cooperated with the U.S. and China in imposing sanctions on North Korea. The partnership comes after Putin's failed invasion of Ukraine, leading to increased military cooperation between North Korea and Russia. The agreement's impact on Northeast Asian security remains uncertain, potentially challenging U.S.-centered alliances in the region and causing concerns in Seoul and Tokyo. China remains cautious, maintaining distance to prevent the perception of a 'triangular alliance' between China, Russia, and North Korea.
