South Korea will provide a $100 million assistance package to Ukraine with billions of dollars more in the pipeline, Seoul’s foreign ministry announced Thursday, as its top diplomat slammed Russia-North Korea military cooperation at a NATO foreign ministers’ meeting.

ROK Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul also met his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha on the sidelines of the NATO ministerial summit in Brussels, according to a social media post by Kyiv’s chief diplomat.

Joint efforts to “counter the deepening Russia-DPRK cooperation that threatens both of our regions” were a focal point of their discussion, alongside plans to strengthen bilateral ties, Sybiha stated.
