Putin Warns South Korea Against Arming Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned South Korea that sending arms to Ukraine would be “a big mistake”.

On Thursday South Korea said it was considering exporting arms to Ukraine in response to Russia and North Korea’s new military pact.

Putin made the statement shortly after he left North Korea, where he met with Kim Jong Un. It was Putin’s first visit to the country in 24 years.

North Korea has become a key supplier of artillery shells in Russia’s war with Ukraine.

The carefully choreographed visit culminated in the signing of a defensive military pact.

South Korea had previously refused to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine, and instead sent humanitarian and medical supplies. But the new North Korean-Russian pact has caused South Korea to reconsider this policy.

Putin said Russia would make “decisions which are unlikely to please the current leadership of South Korea" if they started supplying arms to Ukraine.

North Korea can send weapons to help Russia but South Korea can’t do the same to Ukraine?!?!? Does Putin not understand the US relationship has with South Korea for seventy years?

So North Korea can send help to Russia but South Korea can't send help to Ukraine, that to me is a bit one sided, must be out of their tiny minds.

[Waverlyduli]

Of course South Korea should export arms to Ukraine. A stronger Russia means a stronger North Korea.

This makes the United Nations Security Council nullified. Time to evict every nation from the U.N. building in America. Maybe they can get together in N. Korear?

The man who just signed a military agreement with north Korea warns against south Korea reciprocating...

[charlesnone]

the big mistake was not seeing how your suppling weapons to the north would affect the south. you are making elementary mistakes due to your desperation mr pootin.

[mirekkudzia]

Gone to N Korea begging for basic ammunition and at the same time making threats as if he were a war lord. So pathetic and childish!

[Jon-dh]

North Korea is bigger than South Korea, with roughly half the population. The economy of South Korea is thirty times bigger than North Korea. I wonder why....

[Macsnot]

Why did North Korea wink its left eye when Russia drank the glass of

[AnthonyHTerry]

Who is Putin to warn a country who helps a country against his country?

[dhui]

Might be choreographed but that was an amazing reception for him.
