South Korea’s presidential office on Thursday condemned an agreement reached by Russia and North Korea that vowed mutual defense assistance in the event of war and said it will reconsider its policy of limiting its support to Ukraine to non-lethal supplies.
The comments by a senior presidential official came hours after North Korea’s state media released the details of the agreement reached between its leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin during their summit on Wednesday in Pyongyang.
The North’s official Korean Central News Agency said the deal requires both countries to use all available means to provide immediate military assistance in the event of war.
The office of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol issued a statement condemning the agreement, calling it a threat to the South’s security and a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions, and warned that it would have negative consequences on Seoul’s relations with Moscow.
Seeing south korean self propelled artillery in Ukraine would warm my cold, mosquito infested Finnish heart.
Hell, they should churn out a few divisions of K2 MBTs for them too. I’m sure South Korea would be interested to see the results of some real-world battlefield testing.
Tämän vuoden hyttyset ovat ihan helvetin kauheita. 💀🦟
Yo just offer to set up a joint production facility for the K2 on the Ukrainian/Polish border. The Poles already have an order for like 1000 of the things (no, not a typo). I’m sure South Korea would be very interested in rapidly iterating towards the K2A2 based on actual battlefield testing.
