“The timing of the fresh sanctions appears to be the U.S. response to the North's recent missile tests, and as it covers those believed to have played their role in securing goods for missile programs, it is directly targeting North Korea's missile programs, and also sends a message to Russia and China, too. The U.S. knows that its proposal for additional U.N. sanctions will not be passed right away, given that it requires agreement from Russia and China. It is closer to the U.S. preparing for further North Korean provocations and sending a message that it will take action for action.”

“For the US, a joint declaration is acceptable if it is going to lead to meaningful and substantial progress with regards to North Korea's denuclearisation. But this declaration is not really closely connected with making progress on that front. And for North Korea, agreeing upon a joint declaration must lead to some substantial benefits. What North Korea wants the most is sanctions relief. But that is not something that the South Korean government can decide. So, unless there are guaranteed benefits, the North Korean government will not find that proposal attractive. This has been a long shot, a very long shot from the beginning.”

“It seems that the risk of war in the OSCE area is now greater than ever before in the last 30 years. For several weeks, we have been faced with the prospect of a major military escalation in Eastern Europe. We should focus on a peaceful resolution of the conflict in and around Ukraine.”
