Josep Borrell, the European Union’s top diplomat, said he met South Korea’s defence minister today to discuss Ukraine’s needs for ammunition.
The meeting on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia’s top security summit, came amid pressure from the United States and NATO countries for South Korea to provide weapons and ammunition for Ukraine.
Mr Borrell said in a tweet: “Good meeting with Korean defence minister Lee Jong-sup at #SLD23. Shared alarm at continued DPRK provocations and discussed Ukraine’s needs for ammunition.”
South Korea had so far ruled out sending artillery to Ukraine, citing business ties with Russia and Moscow’s influence over North Korea, despite mounting pressure from Washington and Europe to supply weapons.
