North Korea

Donald Trump repeatedly says he wants to end the war in Ukraine. But the question remains what kind of peace he has in mind - and for whose benefit such a solution would actually be. If we want to understand his current position on Ukraine and Russia, it is worth recalling one of his most significant diplomatic initiatives of the past: an unexpected and controversial meeting with the leader of North Korea during his first term. This episode may suggest much about Trump's negotiating style and what we can expect next. EUROPEUM Institute analyst Tereza Novotna discusses this topic for Asia Times.

North Korea threatens its neighbour with a "terrible catastrophe", blows up roads leading to South Korea and engages in international politics. According to EUROPEUM Institute's North Korea expert Tereza Novotná, it is no coincidence that the isolated state led by leader Kim Jong-un is currently making so many headlines. She explains the possible motives behind this to Web.de.

North Korea entered the war against Ukraine on Russia's side. Kiev expects an appropriate response from its partners. According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyj, there is evidence that not only workers but also military personnel are heading to Russia from North Korea.
