0:53Now PlayingSouth Korea is considering whether to end its ban on sending lethal weapons to Ukraine after Russia and North Korea reached a new military pact, a move that could see Seoul’s large stores of artillery shells heading to Kyiv.
South Korea will reevaluate its policy on prohibiting the export of lethal aid to countries such as Ukraine, national security adviser Chang Ho-jin said in a news briefing Thursday. He expressed grave concern over the pact between Moscow and Pyongyang that Seoul sees as a violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions.
Russian actions that harm South Korea’s security will inevitably have a negative impact on South Korea-Russia relations, he said. South Korean government policy prohibits lethal aid to countries at war.
“We plan to reconsider the issue of arms support to Ukraine,” Chang was quoted as saying by Yonhap News.
During a visit to North Korea on Wednesday, President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reached a deal to provide immediate military assistance if one of them is attacked, reviving an agreement dating back to the Cold War.
