On-point: Why is Ukraine now looking to purchase Korean weapons?

29/11/2024


A Ukrainian special delegation visited South Korea this week, this time with a request to purchase South Korea-made weapons.
Why buy when it’s been asking Seoul to provide K-weapons?
Let’s turn to Professor Kim Dong-soo.

Good morning.

1. Why is Ukraine now looking to buy Korean weapons? Is it because it believes South Korea won’t provide weapons?
Is it because it’s in desperate need of more weapons?

2. South Korea reportedly said no to the request.
What might be the reason?
Why not sell?

3. I also hear we’re short on weapons, anyway, including the Cheongung, K9, and K2. Is that the case?

4. Would you say South Korea is waiting for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to return to office to deal with the Ukraine crisis?
Trump has been very keen to end the conflict as soon as possible.

5. Russia is reportedly gearing up for a huge comeback on Ukraine which used U.S. and UK-supplied missiles against Moscow.
What kind of support do you think Seoul can provide?
If not weapons, then what?

Thanks so much for joining us this morning.
We appreciate it.
