Please join the Impossible State live podcast for a special discussion on the Russia-North Korea axis. The conversation is moderated by Dr. Ellen Kim and featured Dr. Victor Cha and Dr. Angela Stent, Director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies and Professor of Government at Georgetown University. In this episode, they discuss the second summit between Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin, the significance of the meeting at the spaceport, and the reactions of the United States and South Korea to this summit.

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
