This statement was made by the Russian Ambassador to South Korea Georgy Zinoviev.

At the same time, the diplomat emphasized that the Korean side has not yet crossed the “red line”, which Russia has designated as direct supplies of weapons to the Kyiv regime.

“Until then, we will be ready to consider South Korea as a partner in the future, and the relationship will not suffer critical damage,” RIA Novosti quotes Zinoviev.

Earlier, South Korean Defense Minister Shin Won-sik said that the republic would strengthen cooperation with NATO.
