Abstract

AbstractDiplomatic settlement on the Korean peninsula demonstrates Russian capacity, despite decrease in influence in 1990s, to de‐escalate tensions when relations among the other parties in the region are at its absolute worst. This is a testimony to Moscow’s little‐publicized ability to exercise leverage on North Korea and to break the deadlocks. The first Kim Jong‐un–Vladimir Putin summit in April 2019 and Moscow’s good relations with Moon Jae In administration of South Korea created an opportunity for a greater Russia’s role in resolving Korean peninsula issues. North Korea’s new diplomacy towards South Korea and the United States and the start of the search for a negotiated solution to the Korean issue created a window of opportunity for Russia to achieve cooperative security and economic interaction in the region. This article suggests options on how Russia can evaluate the stakeholders’ chances to converge their approaches and how Moscow can contribute to them.
