A former South Korean intel officer told Newsweek, 'despite Russia's military constraints,' it 'might be able to take several military actions' to aid the DPRK.
In an interview published last week by the state-run TASS Russian News Agency, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko took note of the steps North Korea has taken on the international stage to back Moscow's actions in the conflict, which will approach the one-year mark next month.
Putin, for his part, made his debut in North Korea nearly two decades earlier, having met with Kim's father and predecessor, Kim Jong Il, months after the Russian leader first assumed the presidency in 2000. The late North Korean ruler would go on to visit Russia four more times—in 2001, 2002, 2004 and his final international trip in 2011—the last of which took place just months before his death, which led to his son's succession.
While much of Japan's focus has been on the rising power of China, the intensification of North Korea's missile activity in the seas near and skies above Japan and growing Russian military activity along a disputed island chain to Japan's north have also influenced Tokyo's turn away from its traditional self-defense-only doctrine.
Where he saw Russia coming to North Korea's aid was in the economic realm, at a time when even Kim has acknowledged major hardships. Tertitskiy also argued that there was reason not to put too much stock in the grandiose statements being issued by both Pyongyang and Moscow. His research has argued that North Korea"received massive support in Soviet missile hardware and technologies since the 1980s." And while he said"it had seemed unclear if the current Russian government had been involved, too," he noted that"with their recent actions, it actually does not seem far-fetched."
