Russian Officials Warn South Korea About Providing Military Equipment to Ukraine
On June 26th, two Russian officials called on South Korea not to provide weapon systems to Ukraine because it would have consequences for relations between the two countries and increase tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The comments come after South Korea's National Security Adviser, Chang Ho-jin, said that the provision of any kind of military equipment would be based on several factors. The most significant of these factors is Russia's stance on its relations with North Korea and whether it provides Precision Guided Munitions (PGMs) to North Korea.
