Will South Korea heed Ukraine’s call for weapons aid amid Trump’s win, Russia warning?
The group was expected to meet South Korean counterparts “as early as Wednesday” and present a wish list that included anti-air missiles and artillery pieces, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A spokesman for South Korea’s defence ministry declined to comment.
Doo Jin-ho, a research fellow at the Korea Institute for Defence Analyses, noted that while South Korea was a global leader in conventional weapons production, it was likely to tread carefully on the matter.
“South Korea will listen to Ukraine’s request but is unlikely to make a clear commitment to providing weapons,” Doo said.
