Major arms exporter South Korea is not ruling out providing weapons directly to Ukraine , Yoon said, signalling a possible shift in Seoul's stance on the issue.
“Now, depending on the level of North Korean involvement, we will gradually adjust our support strategy in phases,” Yoon said at a press conference in Seoul.North Korea has become one of the most vocal and important backers of Russia’s full-scale offensive in Ukraine. Yoon said his office would monitor unfolding developments related to the operations of North Korean soldiers, and if he decided to provide weapons to Kyiv, the initial batch would be defensive.
Among the topics discussed were recent moves by the North, including its sending of trash-carrying balloons southward, he said. Since North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s second summit with then-president Trump collapsed in Hanoi in 2019, Pyongyang has abandoned diplomacy, doubling down on weapons development and rejecting Washington’s offers of talks.
