Ukraine: SKorea To Provide Military Aid

Seoul, March 15: South Korea decided to provide Ukraine not only with humanitarian assistance, but also with military material except for weapon systems, amid Russia’s military operation in the country, South Korean Defence Ministry spokesman Boo Seung-chan said on Tuesday.

“Our government has decided to provide Ukraine with military equipment but not weapon systems. Negotiations on specific details, such as (a list of) goods and then transportation, and a plan on shipments, are underway,” Boo said at a press briefing.

The spokesman also noted that Seoul will seek ways to purchase or produce weapons in third countries and in South Korea itself to phase out the use of Russian weapons by the national army.
