South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol stated on Thursday that Seoul may consider sending weapons to Ukraine depending on the extent of military cooperation between North Korea and Russia.
"If North Korea dispatches special forces to the Ukraine war, we will provide support to Ukraine step by step and consider taking necessary measures for the security of the Korean Peninsula," Yoon told reporters at a joint press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Seoul. "We have adhered to a principle of not directly supplying lethal weapons, but we can review this more flexibly depending on North Korean military activities," he added.
Earlier today, Russia ratified the Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Moscow and Pyongyang, allowing both parties to provide "military assistance" to each other in the event of an immediate threat.
