TL;DR Summary

A leaked Pentagon document reveals a conversation between high-level South Korean officials on whether to sell weapons that could be used in Ukraine. The officials are torn between US pressure to send ammunition to Ukraine and their policy not to arm countries at war. The leak suggests that the South Koreans not only understood that their shells could end up in Ukraine, but that they were open to this happening, which could strain its relationship with Moscow. The report has triggered security concerns in Seoul, with the opposition party questioning how the US was able to intercept such a high-level conversation.
