  "summary": "The Korean foreign ministry has stated that no confirmed fuel exports to Russia have been authorized since the country began strictly enforcing its export controls on the nation. This move comes after a significant decrease 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. The ministry has prohibited the export of strategic items to Russia and subjected an additional 1,402 non-strategic items that could potentially be used for military purposes to case-by-case export authorization. These controlled items are determined through interagency discussions after considering their potential military use, economic impact, and international coordination.",
