When Russia invaded Ukraine, South Korea's initial response was cautious. While criticizing Moscow's actions, the Moon administration also indicated it would join any multilateral sanctions effort but would not impose its own unilateral sanctions as the United States, the European Union, and other Western democracies had done. After receiving internal and external criticism along with the likelihood of economic repercussions for not imposing its own sanctions, South Korea changed course and altered its hedging strategy toward a more robust response to Russian aggression. The war forced South Korea to reassess its relationship with Russia, and despite landing on Moscow's list of "unfriendly" states, determined that its long-term interests were better served by altering its ties with Russia in favor of greater alignment with other liberal democracies.
