At a press conference on the 23rd (local time), Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned that if South Korea intervenes in the Ukraine war, “Russia will respond harshly to any measures by South Korea that threaten Russia’s security.” The South Korean government is discussing how to respond to North Korea’s move of troops to Russia to be sent to Ukraine. Until now, South Korea has refused Ukraine’s request for direct support of lethal weapons, and has limited itself to indirect supplies of humanitarian aid and 155mm artillery shells and other items via the United States. However, President Yoon Seok-yol has said he will not “stand idly by” while North Korea deploys troops, and there is a possibility that South Korea will provide more extensive support than before. Meanwhile, in South Korea, the “harsh response” suggested by Russia is being interpreted as including the active provision of advanced weapons technology to North Korea. Therefore, even if lethal weapons are provided to Ukraine for the time being, candidates include air defense systems and other weapons with a strong defensive nature, as well as jamming guns that can neutralize drones. However, if it is determined that military cooperation between North Korea and Russia has deepened further in the wake of the dispatch of troops to Ukraine and that the threat to South Korea’s security has increased, the direct provision of K-9 self-propelled guns, multiple rocket launchers, artillery shells, and other equipment may become a consideration. Meanwhile, spokeswoman Zakharova denied the reports of North Korea sending troops, calling them “falsehoods and exaggerations.” dailynk japan October 24, 2024 ■Related sources South Korea also provides weapons to Ukraine in response to strengthening cooperation between Russia and North Korea.
