Crossing the Rubicon: North Korea Sends Troops to Russia

October 29, 2024 • 11:00 – 11:45 am EDT

Brought to you by

The U.S. government confirmation that North Korea is sending troops to Russia show it has effectively crossed the Rubicon and that Kim Jong-un is "all in" in helping Putin win his unjust war in Ukraine. 

Please join the Impossible State podcast for a discussion about North Korea sending troops to support Russia's war in Ukraine. The conversation will be moderated by Andrew Schwartz and feature Dr. Victor Cha, president of the Geopolitics and Foreign Policy Department and Korea Chair; Maria Snegovaya, senior fellow for Russia and Eurasia with the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program; Mark Cancian, senior adviser with the CSIS International Security Program; and Dennis Wilder, senior fellow for the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues at Georgetown University.

In this episode, they will assess the Kremlin's motivations, the potential impacts on the battlefield in Ukraine, what North Korea is likely to receive in return, how Beijing may perceive this development, and more.

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
