South Korea’s presidential office on Thursday condemned an agreement reached by Russia and North Korea that vowed mutual defense assistance in the event of war and said it will reconsider its policy of limiting its support to Ukraine to non-lethal supplies.
The comments by a senior presidential official came hours after North Korea’s state media released the details of the agreement reached between its leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin during their summit on Wednesday in Pyongyang.
The North’s official Korean Central News Agency said the deal requires both countries to use all available means to provide immediate military assistance in the event of war.
The office of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol issued a statement condemning the agreement, calling it a threat to the South’s security and a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions, and warned that it would have negative consequences on Seoul’s relations with Moscow.
South Korea, while obviously a US lap dog, likes to pretend to play goodie goodie with China
Ofcourse its an lemmy.ml user
Yes, but I’m also a South Korean resident, so I think I have a bit of context for what I’m saying.
Cool! I like opinions outside my bubble. What would you like to see, ideally, in this situation?
Obviously they want to see SK reintegrated into true Korea(North). :P
I also totally believe a SK citizen is both a pro China and an ML user…
Not a citizen, just a resident

The best thing for the world is to ensure the “defender” of land wins wars, to discourage future wars.
The best thing for South Korea is to not give North Korea any tangible reason to get upset. South Korea is saying they want to help Ukraine, because they want to please the US, but they’ll only do the bare minimum to please the US.
