South Korea considers direct weapons support for Ukraine amid North Korea's military aid to Russia

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol announced that the country is considering providing weapons directly to Ukraine, marking a potential change in its long-standing policy against supplying arms to nations in conflict. This shift is influenced by North Korea's increased military support for Russia in the Ukraine war. Yoon stated that South Korea would adjust its support strategy based on North Korea's involvement, with an initial focus on defensive weapons if arms support proceeds. He emphasized the need to monitor North Korean troop operations in Russia. In a separate development, Yoon spoke with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump about North Korea and plans for a future meeting. The discussion included recent North Korean missile tests and provocations, highlighting the ongoing tensions in the region.
