How has the war in Ukraine changed the way wars are fought today? What capabilities or know-how could Russia have passed on to North Korea through their military cooperation?

Moderated by Dr. Victor Cha, this episode features Ms. Kateryna Bondar, Fellow with the Wadhwani AI Center at CSIS, and Mr. Bruce Klingner, Senior Fellow with the Mansfield Foundation.

In this episode, they discuss how the war in Ukraine is reshaping warfare, what North Korea may learn from Russia, the implications for security on the Korean Peninsula, and more.

A recording of the event will be available on-demand following the livestream. An audio-only version of the show will be available in the Impossible State podcast feed on all platforms.

This event is made possible by the generous support of CSIS.
