Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election forces South Korea to reconsider the possibility of sending arms directly to Ukraine, as Seoul should take into account the position of the new head of the White House. This was reported by Bloomberg news agency, citing sources.
‘Donald Trump’s election victory is prompting South Korea to reconsider sending weapons directly to Ukraine. This decision could have a big impact on the course of the war,’ the report said.
According to the agency, President Yun Seok-yeol’s government now ‘must take into account’ the US president-elect’s position when deciding whether to change its long-standing policy of refusing to supply lethal weapons to Kiev.
‘Seoul is also studying how Trump’s approach to the war will affect support for Ukraine in a number of countries,’ Bloomberg emphasised.
We will remind, earlier Turkish analyst Engin Ozer said that, firstly, the newly elected US President Donald Trump does not need to wait until the inauguration to start resolving the Ukrainian crisis, and secondly, the Republican will offer a ‘freeze’ of the conflict to the parties.
