Seoul considers the agreement a threat to its security and demands that Moscow stop military cooperation with Pyongyang, as violating a UN Security Council resolution by protesting their strategic partnership agreement. IN notedWhat military cooperation between the Russian Federation and the DPRK has a “negative impact on the regional situation and Russian-Korean relations.”

A representative of the Russian diplomatic mission said that attempts to “threaten or blackmail” Russia are unacceptable, and the Russian Federation’s agreement with North Korea “is not directed against specific third countries.”
