Seoul maintains a cautious stance on Ukraine's request for military assistance amid claims of North Korea sending additional troops to Russia. The South Korean government has offered support in various sectors to Ukraine, but is unlikely to supply weapons. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that 30,000 to 50,000 North Koreans will be deployed to Russia, stating that North Korea will benefit from modern warfare experience through its cooperation with Russia.
South Korea views military cooperation between North Korea and Russia as violating UN resolutions and a threat to their security, urging the immediate cessation of such ties.
