As part of the deal, the US will purchase 100,000 rounds of 155mm howitzer ammunition, which will then be transferred to Ukraine through the US. The arrangement allows South Korea to stick to its public pledge that it would not send lethal aid to Ukraine. In a statement issued Friday morning, the South Korean Defense Ministry said it had not changed its position on shipping weapons to Ukraine, and that it believed the “end user” of the ammunition is the United States.
That’s been true of our allies.” Since the early months of the war, artillery has been one of the key weapons provided to Ukraine in its fight against Russian forces. The Ukrainian military previously relied on Soviet-era 152mm artillery pieces, but as that ammo supply ran dry, the US and Western countries transitioned them to NATO-standard 155mm howitzers. To date, the US has sent in 142 of these artillery pieces.
