South Korea pledges to increase non-lethal military aid to Ukraine at meeting with First Lady.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has pledged to expand nonlethal aid to Ukraine, including equipment for detecting and removing mines and ambulance vehicles, during a meeting with Olena Zelenska, the first lady of Ukraine. Yoon condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and promised to coordinate with NATO and other international partners to support the Ukrainian people. South Korea has not directly provided arms to Ukraine due to its policy of not supplying weapons to countries actively engaged in conflict, but has provided humanitarian aid and other support while joining U.S.-led economic sanctions against Moscow.
