It is fortunate that President Yoon Suk-yeol's martial law declaration was lifted without any armed conflict. Due to the opposition party's legislative monopoly, Korea had no choice but to impose martial law due to the loss of national security and state function. In fact, the leader of South Korea's opposition party is breaking the law and avoiding trial despite committing numerous crimes, and is being investigated for...

While North Korea is known to be supporting Russia with short-range ballistic missiles, it has been reported that it is expanding a key military factory that manufactures missiles in Hamheung, South Hamgyong Province. 북한이 러시아에 단거리 탄도미사일을 지원하는 것으로 알려진 가운데 함경남도 함흥에 미사일을 제작하는 핵심 군수공장을 확장하고 있다고 알려졌다. North Korea is also sending North Korean military personnel to a drone manufacturing factory in Russia and is manufacturing and supplying suicide drones to Russia. 북한은 또한 러시아에 있는 드론 제작공장에 북한군 인력을 보내고 있고 자폭드론을 만들어 러시아에 제공하고 있다. North Korea and Russia have signed a military cooperation treaty, and weapons and technical support are beginning in earnest. 북한과 러시아가 군사협력조약에 서로 싸인을 끝냈고 본격적으로 무기와 기술지원등이 시작되고 있다. In order to win the war in Ukraine, Russia wanted to send North Korean troops, and North Korea has ambitions to obtain advanced nuclear missile technology and economy from Russia. 우크라이나 전쟁에 승리하기 위해 러시아는 북한군 파병을 원했고 북한은 러시아로부터 핵 미사일에 대한 고급기술과 경제를 얻을...

(11월25일2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) Russia must take responsibility; "Russia is the actual culprit causing ‘security concerns’ in the United States, South Korea, and Japan." @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on November 25, 2024. As the war between Russia and Ukraine reaches its peak, Russia is making its last efforts by including North Korean troops to be sent into the war. 러시아와 우크라이나 전쟁이 최고조를 달리면서 러시아는 전쟁에 투입시킬 북한군까지 포함시켜 마지막 발악을 하고 있다. The U.S. State Department made it clear on the 25th (local time) that “Russia is raising ‘security concerns’ in the United States and South Korea.” and emphasized that “Russia alone is responsible for these very real security concerns.” 미 국무성은 25일(현지시간) “러시아가 미국과 한국 등의 ‘안보 우려’를 불러일으키고 있다는 점을 분명히 밝혔다. 그러면서 ”매우 현실적인 안보 우려에 대한 책임은 러시아에만 있다”고 강조했다. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko said in an interview with Russia's TASS news agency on the 24th (local time), “The Korean government must realize that if South Korean-made weapons are used to kill Russian citizens, Russia-South Korea relations could be completely destroyed.”...

The Ukrainian Air Force announced that Russia launched a new hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) into its Dimtro region on the 21st (local time). U.S. experts said the missile tested by Russia was an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM). 러시아가 21일(현지시간) 자국 디므트로 지역으로 극초음속 신형 중거리 탄도미사일(IRBM)을 발사했다고 우크라이나 공군이 밝혔다. 미 전문가들은 러시아가 시험한 미사일은 (IRBM, 중거리 탄도미사일이라고 밝혔다. Following the permission to use U.S.'s long-range missiles, it is known that Ukraine fired Storm Shadow long-range missiles provided by the UK towards Russia, and Putin is becoming extremely sensitive, even mentioning the use of nuclear weapons. 미국산 장거리 미사일 사용 허락에 이어 우크라이나가 영국이 제공한 스톰섀도 장거리 미사일을 러시아를 향해 쏜 것으로 알려지면서 푸틴은 핵무기 사용까지 언급하면서 극도로 민감해 지고 있다.

The war in Ukraine is entering a new phase as President Biden reversed the existing policy and allowed Ukraine to use anti-personnel mines in addition to the use of long-range missiles. The use of anti-personnel mines outside the Korean Peninsula was banned in 2022, but it is unusual for Ukraine to use anti-personnel mines. 바이든 대통령은 기존 정책을 뒤집고 우크라이나가 장거리 미사일사용에 이어 대인지뢰 사용을 허락하면서 우크라이나전쟁이 새로운 국면으로 가고 있다. 2022년 한반도외에 대인지뢰 사용을 금지했는데 우크라이나가 대인지뢰를 사용하게 된 것은 이례적이다. It was reported on the 20th that the United States closed its embassy in Kiev, Ukraine, in preparation for large-scale Russian supplies. Considering the military agreement between Russia and North Korea, the possibility that not only the Russian military but also the North Korean military could fly Russian fighter jets and participate in airstrikes is not ruled out. This is because North Korean fighter pilots are already deployed to Russia. 미국은 20일 대규모 러시아 공급에 대비해 우크라이나 키이우에 있는 미국 대사관을 폐쇄했다고 보도됐다. 러시아와...

(11-19-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on November 19, 2024. Although the defense cost sharing negotiations between the United States and South Korea have ended, the South Korean government is struggling with the burden of having to resume negotiations once the next Trump administration takes office. 미국과 한국의 방위비 분담금 협상이 끝났지만 차기 트럼프 행정부가 들어서면 다시 협상을 재개해야 된다는 부담감에 한국정부가 고심하고 있다. The strong U.S.-ROK alliance must not crack under the burden of defense cost sharing. It remains to be seen what kind of negotiations the incoming Trump administration will propose, but there are concerns that the Korea-U.S. alliance may be shaken as it may demand a larger share of the burden than the amount currently negotiated. 든든한 한미동맹이 방위비 분담금의 부담으로 금이 가서은 않된다. 차기 트럼프 행정부가 어떤 협상을 제안해 올지 지켜봐야 하지만 현재 협상을 끝낸 금액보다 더 많은 분담그을 요구할수 있어 한미동맹관계가 흔들릴지 않을까 우려스럽다. Moreover, as the war between Russia and Ukraine is getting worse, the Korean government is not sparing support for Ukraine, which is attracting attention. 더구나 러시아와 우크라이나...
