South Korea considers direct weapons support for Ukraine, president says

inquirer.net — November 7, 2024, 07:01 AM UTC

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol announced on November 7, 2024, that South Korea is considering providing weapons directly to Ukraine. This marks a potential change in policy, as the country has traditionally refrained from supplying arms to nations in conflict.

Yoon's comments come amid North Korea's increased military support for Russia in the Ukraine conflict, including the deployment of troops. He stated that any potential arms support from South Korea would initially focus on defensive weapons.

Additionally, Yoon discussed North Korea with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, planning a future meeting to address various security issues, including North Korea's recent missile tests and provocations.
