  • Ursula von der Leyen

  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 23 hours ago

“President Moon and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un recently exchanged letters and reminisced about the past five years (of Moon's tenure). They shared the common view that efforts should continue for peace on the Korean peninsula and exchanged cordial greetings for the people of the South and the North. We expect the letters, which will be the last one between Moon and Kim, will serve as a stepping stone for inter-Korean relations.”

“Frankly, there are not many options left for the President-elect, President Moon and even the U.S. but to turn to a hawkish stance. Since the North announced its intention to stick to its own nuclear development plan earlier this year, it did not hesitate in ending the moratorium, meaning the regime will likely pursue its goal of producing various nuclear weapons regardless of outside pressure. The only way that looks effective is joining other countries to impose stronger sanctions on North Korea, but this also relates to the North's relations with China.”

“While surely Team Biden wants the Moon Jae-in government to be a more active part of what is clearly a growing anti-China coalition, it seems unlikely the Blue House [Korean presidential office] will cave to any pressure. Korea must continue its difficult balancing act, trying to juggle emerging economic ties with China and a much-needed security alliance with America. That won't be easy, but it has been something President Moon thus far has excelled at.”

“I think that Pyongyang is serious about improving ties with Seoul. And it makes sense to try to do this while President Moon is still in office. If another liberal wins the presidency, most likely they will follow the same policy as President Moon so any dialogue with him would be a starting point for relations with the new president. And if a conservative wins, they wouldn't want to go back to the period of tensions that we witnessed from 2010 to 2017. So a conservative president would be tempted to seek engagement with Pyongyang. Particularly with a Biden administration that clearly wants no tensions with North Korea, and which seems to be open to diplomacy.”

“The DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] knows President Moon [Moon Jae-in] wants to take one last shot at forging a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula, while the North wants sanctions relief. It seems to me that due to these factors - and if the U.S. is at least willing to entertain some sort of sanctions relief - an inter-Korean summit seems inevitable.”
