“Discussions of any open violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions on North Korea would signal that major international agencies will be paralysed. The summit is an indicator that North Korea-related Security Council resolutions are dead, as are all attempts to stop North Korea or penalise it for having a nuclear program. It creates an important precedent that is likely to be used not only by Russia but pretty much every major international player that if you don't like a UNSC resolution you just ignore it. Russia may be unlikely to provide North Korea with advanced technology that it could eventually lose control of. But its excessive signalling at defence cooperation allows it to send a strong message to South Korea not to directly provide military aid to Ukraine.”
