English Abstract

This year marks the 32nd anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Russia. This article briefly looks back on the previous administrations' Russia policies and prospects for the new administration's Russia policy. It first covers the background and motive of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the battlefield situation, and its repercussions. Then, it presents alternative measures for the new administration's Russia policy to the new government's policy toward Russia, reflecting the state of war in Ukraine.
