This study analyzes the impact of rapidly intensifying military cooperation between North Korea and Russia following the Ukraine War on the Korean Peninsula’s security environment and explores strategic response options for South Korea. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, bilateral cooperation has developed to unprecedented qualitative and quantitative levels, including North Korea’s large-scale weapons transfers to Russia, potential Russian transfers of advanced military technologies to North Korea, and the signing of a strategic partnership treaty with mutual defense provisions. This Russia-North Korea alignment deepens South Korea’s security dilemma and causes significant changes in the regional balance of power. Based on security dilemma theory, this study analyzes the characteristics and motivations behind Russia-North Korea cooperation and proposes effective response strategies for South Korea, including strengthening the ROK-US alliance, enhancing self-defense capabilities, expanding multilateral security cooperation, and establishing crisis management mechanisms.
