The President of South Korea has warned that North Korea is someway ‘involved’ in the war between Russia and Ukraine.<\/p>\n
During a meeting with leadership from the USA, President Yoon Suk Yeol told delegates that the hermit country has ‘something to do’ with the war – directly and indirectly.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Yonhap News Agency reported that the fears about Ukraine – and similar fears about the war between Israel and Hamas – were raised in a meeting between U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Charles Q. Brown Jr. in Seoul.<\/p>\n
President Yoon emphasised the importance of a combined defensive position between allies against North Korea. Secretary Austin reaffirmed Biden’s commitment to the two countries’ alliance.<\/p>\n
The news comes as earlier this week, South Korean military officials announced that North Korea may have provided Russia with short-range ballistic missiles, as well as artillery shells and other weapons.<\/p>\n
Seoul estimated that Kim Jong Un shipped a staggering 2,000 containers of weapons and munitions to Vladivostock in Far East Russia, double the 1,000 containers reported by the White House a month ago.<\/p>\n
