In Seoul they don’t want to reveal all their cards yet.
South Korea will determine the volume of arms supplies to Ukraine depending on how Russia will cooperate with the DPRK.
South Korean National Security Advisor Chang Ho-jin announced the Yonhap publication.
He confirmed that Seoul will reconsider the possibility of supplying arms to Ukraine after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin signed a mutual defense pact in the event of war.
“There are different options for providing weapons, and our position on recent events between Russia and North Korea depends on how Russia approaches the situation in the future,” the official said.
Potential weapons being considered include 155mm artillery shells, as well as air defense systems that Ukraine needs, government sources say.
In public statements, however, Seoul officials maintain strategic uncertainty about the types of weapons, seen as a diplomatic move to use the opportunity to pressure Moscow to refrain from transferring key military technologies to Pyongyang.
Recall, Russian dictator president Vladimir Putin threatened South Korea. Like, if Seoul provides Ukraine with lethal weapons, it will be a very big mistake.
