On Wednesday, Cheong Wa Dae, the official residence and workplace of South Korea's President, firmly rejected allegations by Ukrainian official Vladyslav Vlasiuk. Vlasiuk, an adviser on sanctions policy to the Ukrainian president, had claimed that fuel shipments from Korea to Russia, totaling over 176,000 tons in July and August, violated South Korea's sanctions policy against Moscow.
This assertion was based on a story published in the British newspaper The Guardian. Vlasiuk's claim was met with a swift response from Kang Yu-jung, the presidential spokesperson, who emphasized that South Korea had consistently adhered to its sanctions and export controls on Russia in collaboration with the international community.
Kang stated that the Ukrainian official's portrayal of South Korea as aiding Russia's fuel crisis and refining capacity loss was inaccurate and misleading.
