South Korea weighs military aid to Ukraine as North sends troops to Russia
South Korean leadership discusses counter-measures to North Koreaʼs military backing of Russia in Ukraine conflict. Seoul might change its non-lethal aid policy as NK troops join front-line combat
President Yoon Suk Yeol met with Ukrainian officials in Seoul to talk about North-Koreas involvement in the eastern-European conflict. The meeting focused on Pyongyangs recent deployment of more than 10k soldiers to support Russias military actions
The US and Ukrainian intel confirms that NK troops are already fighting in combat-zones (which adds new problems to the almost 3-year long conflict). This move by Pyongyang creates fresh worries for the international community: both Seoul and Washington think Russia might help NK improve its nuclear program in return
Seoulʼs defense ministry stated in Oct-24 that they might change their current help policy: South Korea which previously sent only non-lethal supplies now thinks about shipping military equipment to Ukraine. This step would be a direct answer to Pyongyangs actions — a move that could reshape regional alliances
