South Korea considers supplying defensive weapons to Ukraine in response to North Korea's support for Russia

South Korea's President Yoon Suk-yeol announced a potential shift in policy, stating the country is not ruling out supplying weapons to Ukraine. This comes in response to North Korea's increased military support for Russia, which poses a threat to South Korea. Yoon emphasized that any weapons supplied would prioritize defensive capabilities. He noted that North Korea has deployed 10,000 troops to Russia, marking a deeper involvement in the Ukraine conflict. This change contrasts with South Korea's previous policy of not supplying arms to countries in conflict. Yoon's administration aims to enhance security cooperation with the U.S. and respond to North Korea's actions.
