Seoul weighing ‘various’ responses to North Korea sending troops to Ukraine

Defense ministry declines to state whether ROK will provide lethal aid to Kyiv amid questions about extent of deployment

The statement comes after South Korea’s presidential office confirmed the DPRK deployment last week, with Seoul’s spy agency releasing satellite imagery that it said showed Russian naval vessels transporting North Korean special forces to the Russian Far East.
