South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said in an interview with Reuters ahead of his state visit to the U.S. next week that South Korea might provide military aid to Ukraine if “it comes under a large-scale civilian attack.” It marks the first time that Seoul has suggested a willingness to provide direct military aid to Ukraine. South Korea has only provided humanitarian assistance thus far.

“If there is a situation the international community cannot condone, such as any large-scale attack on civilians, massacre or serious violation of the laws of war, it might be difficult for us to insist only on humanitarian or financial support,” Yoon said.
