South Korea vows to respond to North Korea's troop deployment to Russia

kyivpost.com — October 21, 2024, 04:01 PM UTC

Summary: South Korean President Yoon Seok-Yeol announced plans to respond to North Korea's deployment of combat troops to Russia, confirming intelligence of at least 1,500 elite commandos sent to support the Kremlin in Ukraine. This marks a significant escalation in North Korea's military involvement.

Yoon's comments followed a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, where he expressed concerns about the threat to global peace. South Korea's Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador to condemn North Korea's actions, which violate UN sanctions.

Previously, South Korea maintained a ban on exporting lethal aid to Ukraine. However, reports suggest that this policy may be reconsidered if North Korea's military support to Russia continues, as South Korea produces significant amounts of artillery ammunition.
