"Ukrainian First Lady's Visit Sparks Arms Shipment Pressure on Seoul"

Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska's visit to Seoul may pressure South Korea to provide arms or other military support to Kyiv despite Moscow's threats against such aid. Currently, South Korea provides only humanitarian and economic assistance to Ukraine, but President Yoon Suk Yeol signaled a major shift from this principle last month. The most frequently mentioned weapon for supporting Ukraine is the 155-millimeter artillery shell. Seoul's potential arms support to Ukraine is likely to feature prominently in Yoon's diplomatic schedule in the coming weeks.
