South Korea signals potential military support for Ukraine amid North Korea-Russia ties
Summary: South Korea has intensified its stance on the Ukraine conflict, threatening to send weapons and military personnel to Ukraine. This follows intelligence reports that North Korea plans to deploy up to 12,000 troops to support Russia's invasion.
Seoul's National Security Council has called for the withdrawal of North Korean troops from Russia and is considering sending military and intelligence personnel to assist Ukraine. This marks a significant shift in South Korea's approach amid growing concerns over North Korea's military cooperation with Russia.
Previously, South Korea had limited its support to third-party nations supplying arms to Ukraine. However, analysts suggest that the evolving North Korea-Russia relationship may prompt South Korea to reconsider its position on directly arming Ukraine.
