China News Service, June 8. According to Yonhap News Agency, the South Korean government reiterated on the 8th that it has no plans to provide weapons assistance to Ukraine, but will continue to provide humanitarian assistance.
According to the report, Lee Do-hoon, the second official of the South Korean Foreign Ministry, met with Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Senik in Seoul on the 7th.
The Uzbek side thanked the South Korean side for its assistance and requested to provide weapons support and participate in the reconstruction.
The South Korean side responded that it would continue to provide humanitarian assistance to the Ukrainian side.
Analysts believe that the South Korean side declines Uzbekistan's continuous requests for weapons support, but will actively seek assistance in post-war reconstruction and economic development and cooperation.
According to reports, Shenik also said at a press conference at the Ukrainian embassy in South Korea on the 7th that Ukraine needs more weapons to fight against Russia and hopes that the South Korean government will actively support it.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly called on the South Korean side to provide military assistance to Ukraine when he delivered a video speech at the South Korean parliament in April, but the South Korean government still insists on the position of "incapable of assisting weapons of destruction".
