Since 2023, North Korea (officially known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or DPRK) and
the Russian Federation (Russia) have upgraded their partnership, a development that could potentially
boost Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and increase North Korea’s military capabilities and its
willingness to engage in provocative actions against the United States and U.S. allies in East Asia.
The Biden Administration in recent months has designated for sanctions North Korean individuals and
entities conducting illicit cyber and crypto activities, weapons procurement and transfers (to Russia), and
fuel trade that violates U.S. and United Nations Security Council (UNSC) restrictions. North Korea’s
contravention of these sanctions, with Russia’s assistance, challenges long-held U.S. policy, shaped and
supported by several acts of Congress, aimed at persuading North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons in
exchange for a potential loosening of sanctions. Strengthened North Korea-Russia bilateral ties
potentially embolden North Korea to expand illicit activities and engage in provocations, and may
improve DPRK military capabilities. The Administration has worked with South Korea and Japan to
increase deterrence and expand allied efforts to counter North Korea’s illicit efforts to evade sanctions,
such as a new U.S.-South Korea task force to disrupt DPRK illicit imports of petroleum. Congress may
consider whether to review Administration policies, examine implementation of unilateral and multilateral
sanctions, and review the breadth and pace of North Korea-Russia cooperation as well as its impact on
U.S. and allied forces.
