South Korea has been supporting Ukraine for months, but the assistance provided does not include "lethal weapons." However, Seoul is increasingly considering lifting the ban on the supply of such weapons in connection with Russia's and North Korea's actions.

South Korean defense minister says casualties can be expected among Kim Jong Un's forces sent to fight in the war against Russia's neighbor.

South Korea’s defense minister on Tuesday said North Korea is strongly considering deploying its own troops to fight alongside Russia in Ukraine, amid reports that there have already been North Korean casualties in the war.
