South Korea mulls missile aid for Ukraine amid fears about North Korean troops in Russia
Yoo Yong-won, a lawmaker from the ruling People Power Party, said during a radio interview on Wednesday that the government was considering transferring retired HAWK surface-to-air missiles.
Yoon said the possible transfer of North Korean troops to the front lines required a “strong and united response” from the international community.
A senior security official in Yoon’s office said on the same day that South Korea had no immediate plans to supply lethal weapons to Ukraine, and would only consider providing defensive arms first.
