NATO URGES SOUTH KOREA TO HELP UKRAINE IN WAR AGAINST RUSSIA

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on South Korea to increase its military support to Ukraine. Speaking in Seoul, Jens Stoltenberg thanked South Korea for its non-lethal support to Ukraine, but stated that there is an "urgent need for ammunition". "I call on the Republic of Korea to continue and activate the specific issue of military support," he said. "In the end, it's your decision, but I'll say that several NATO allies who had a policy of never exporting weapons to countries in conflict have now changed that policy," Stoltenberg reminded.
While South Korea has signed major agreements to supply hundreds of tanks, aircraft, and other weaponry to NATO member Poland since the war began, South Korean President Moon Jae-in has stated that his country's law against providing weapons to countries in conflict makes it difficult to provide weapons to Ukraine.
However, Stoltenberg noted that countries such as Germany, Sweden, and Norway had similar policies but changed them.

"If we don't want autocracy and tyranny to win, then they need weapons, that's the reality," he said.
He said it was "extremely important" that Russia not win this war, not only for Ukrainians but also to avoid sending the wrong signal to authoritarian leaders, including in Beijing, that they can get what they want by force.
As reported, the US Department of Defense has asked its troops deployed in South Korea to provide equipment to assist Ukraine in its war against Russia.
