Seoul: South Korea could consider more support for Ukraine in response to North Korea's deployment of troops in Russia to support Moscow's ongoing war, the South's president said on Wednesday. Speaking to Spanish news agency EFE, Yoon Suk-yeol said Pyongyang has also provided weapons to Moscow. According to Anadolu Agency, Yoon stated, "If they both do not stop their dangerous military adventure, we are prepared to implement appropriate effective measures, including strengthening support for Ukraine, in cooperation with our allies and like-minded countries." Last month, Yoon indicated that his country might consider providing arms to Ukraine, contingent upon the extent of military cooperation between Russia and North Korea. On Wednesday, South Korea's spy agency, the National Intelligence Service, reported that North Korean soldiers had moved to the front line region of Kursk, Russia, to fight Ukrainian forces. Additionally, on Tuesday, a Ukrainian official alleged that 50,000 Russian and North Korean troop s had been deployed to Kursk for combat against Ukrainian forces, though Pyongyang has not confirmed these claims.
