South Korea is reconsidering its longstanding policy of not supplying lethal weapons to Ukraine. This shift comes in response to a new military pact between Russia and North Korea, which includes mutual defense assistance. South Korean officials, including National Security Adviser Chang Ho-jin, have indicated that various weapon options, such as 155mm artillery shells and air defense systems, are being reviewed. The reconsideration follows statements from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who warned that Russia might supply high-precision weapons to North Korea and take actions that South Korea would find unfavorable if Seoul proceeds with arming Ukraine. The defense deal was signed during Putin's visit to Hanoi, Vietnam, where he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The U.S. State Department has expressed deep concern over Putin's threats, highlighting the potential destabilization of the Korean peninsula.
