SKorea Considers Sending Arms to Ukraine
South Korea says it will consider sending arms to Ukraine after Russia and
North Korea rattled the region and beyond.
They signed a pact to come to each other’s defense in the event of war.
The office of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol issued a statement
condemning the agreement.
He called it a threat to his country'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.
The comments came hours after North Korea’s state media released the details
of the agreement.

It comes at a time when Russia faces growing isolation over its war in
Ukraine and both countries face escalating (增加, 加劇. ) standoffs with the
West.
