俄罗斯地跨欧亚，东北亚一直是其重要外交方向。俄罗斯希望通过经营与东北亚国家关系，影响和塑造于己有利的东北亚地区安全结构，维护本国东部安全。由于拥有中、日、韩三大经济体，东北亚地区拥有巨大经济潜力和发展机遇，俄罗斯希望加强和扩大与东北亚国家的经济合作，融入地区经济一体化，拉动本国经济增长。更重要的是，俄罗斯希望深入参与东北亚事务，保持在地区乃至世界热点问题上的影响力，稳固自己的世界大国地位。但冷战时期遗留下的地区结构对俄罗斯的东北亚外交努力形成了限制，2022年初俄乌冲突爆发后，俄罗斯过去一段时间在东北亚方向的外交实践遇到了新的挑战，东北亚局势也因此更趋复杂。
Crossing continents of Europe and Asia，Russia has always considered Northeast Asia as an important diplomatic issue. It hopes to influence and shape the security structure of Northeast Asia，maintain its own security in the east to its own advantage by managing relations with Northeast Asian countries. With China，Japan and POK these three major economic entities，Northeast Asia has huge economic potential and development opportunities. Russia aims to strengthen and expand economic cooperation with Northeast Asian countries，integrate into regional economy，and stimulate economic growth. More importantly，Russia hopes to be deeply involved in Northeast Asian affairs，to maintain influence on regional and global hotspot issues，and to consolidate status as a world power. However，the regional structure left over from the Cold War has restricted Russia’s diplomatic efforts in this area. After the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis in early 2022，Russia’s diplomatic practice in the past period in Northeast Asia has encountered new challenges，which complicated the situation in Northeast Asia.
