Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine has important connections to and implications for Northeast Asia. Russia has relied upon China as a supplier and a market and on North Korea as a source of weapons and, increasingly, of soldiers. Conversely, the United States has turned to its allies in Northeast Asia, like its allies in Europe, for support. Meanwhile, the war and Western economic sanctions have not merely disrupted but reshaped global energy markets as well as other international trade. Finally, many have argued that Chinese officials are drawing consequential lessons from U.S. and allied responses to Russia.
On November 20, the Center for the National Interest convened an expert panel to assess perspectives on the war in Northeast Asia—especially Japan and South Korea—as well as how these perspectives are shaping policy in these two key U.S. allies.
