South Korea is considering arms deliveries to Ukraine: North Korea threatens!

A dramatic turning point in the geopolitical landscape: South Korea is seriously considering delivering weapons directly to Ukraine! President Yoon Suk-Yeol announced in a press conference that the support for Ukraine is not excluded after North Korea sent troops to support Russia. This alarming development represents a direct threat to Seoul, since North Korea's soldiers gain urgently needed combat experience and in return from Moscow are rewarded with sensitive military technology.

"Depending on the extent of North Korean participation, we will gradually adjust our support strategy," said Yoon. "This means that we do not rule out the possibility of providing weapons." This is a remarkable change of course for South Korea, which traditionally does not provide any weapons to countries of conflict. Yoon emphasized that if there is a weapon delivery, defensive weapons are initially prioritized. The Ukrainian Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov reported that the Ukrainian army already had its first confrontation with North Korean soldiers, which further fueled the tensions.

North Korea's role in the Ukraine conflict

North Korea has emerged as one of the volume supporters in Russia in the Ukraine conflict. According to reports, the country sent 10,000 soldiers to Russia, which indicates a deeper interference. Yoon announced that his office would closely observe developments around the North Korean troops. "If we continue with the weapon support, we would prioritize defensive weapons as a first consideration," he added, without further details.

In another step to strengthen security cooperation, South Korea and the United States signed a five-year plan to increase South Korea's cost-sharing contributions to U.S. bases. Yoon emphasized the need to work with the new US government to build a perfect security situation and maintain freedom and peace. Geopolitical tensions are rising as North Korea and Russia tighten their military ties, pushing the world into a new phase of instability.
