14:19Now PlayingNorth Korea is often seen in Europe as a distant, isolated threat. But that perception may be dangerously out of date. From its growing role in Russia’s war in Ukraine to its expanding cyber operations targeting European institutions, Pyongyang is already shaping the continent’s security landscape in ways many have yet to fully grasp.
In this interview, Korea expert Eric Balbach explains how North Korea has evolved in recent years, why its partnership with Russia matters for Europe, and how cyber activity is helping fund its military ambitions.
