The circumstances surrounding Trump's victory in the U.S. election may prompt South Korea to reconsider sending weapons directly to Ukraine.

Written by UNN with reference to Bloomberg.

South Korea is now less likely to send munitions to Ukraine if Pyongyang does not take further action or if there is no greater clarity on how Trump will deal with Ukraine.

But now the South Korean government office is actively considering possible scenarios for Russian-North Korean military cooperation, and Seoul is considering countermeasures.

“We will work closely with our ally and partners in this process,” the statement said in response to a Bloomberg question about South Korea's latest thoughts on sending weapons to Ukraine.

North Korea's deployment of up to 12,000 troops to Russia has changed this position, with President Yun stating that Pyongyang's direct involvement in the conflict poses a threat to his country's security.

“We do not rule out arms support. If we provide arms support, defensive weapons will be considered first,” the South Korean president said at a press conference last week.

For reference

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is preparing to send a representative to Seoul to appeal for weapons and convince South Korea to reconsider its position in his favor. South Korea has a huge stockpile of 155-millimeter artillery shells, which are the North Atlantic Treaty Organization standard used by Ukraine.
