Korea says no confirmed fuel exports to Russia, vows strict enforcement of export controls

South Korea has reaffirmed its commitment to strict enforcement of export controls on Russia, according to the foreign ministry. The ministry stated that no confirmed fuel exports to Russia have been recorded through customs clearance procedures, emphasizing the country's prohibition of exports of strategic items to Russia and imposing additional export authorizations for 1,402 non-strategic items that could potentially be used for military purposes.

This move comes after a significant reduction in outbound shipments to Russia, from $10 billion in 2021 to $4 billion in 2025, as South Korea joins international efforts to maintain peace through export controls, despite the economic burden on companies and the public.
