In their first face-to-face meeting during the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, President Yoon Suk-yeol <\/span>committed<\/span><\/a> to providing Ukraine with crucial supplies, such as landmine clearance equipment and emergency vehicles. This assurance came as a response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky\u2019s request for non-lethal aid. Yoon underscored South Korea\u2019s dedication to an international order founded on freedom and cooperation, reiterating the nation\u2019s sustained support for Ukraine. The leaders also converged on the urgent need for cooperative efforts in Ukraine\u2019s post-war reconstruction. The meeting comes days after Yoon met with Ukraine\u2019s first lady, Olena Zelenska, in Seoul, where Yoon <\/span>pledged<\/span><\/a> to provide assistance to Ukraine in coordination with the international community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zelensky expressed appreciation for South Korea\u2019s supply of resources, such as medical supplies, generators and computers. Voicing hopes for an accelerated resolution to the conflict and a subsequent peaceful resolution, he highlighted the necessity for increased international assistance as the 15-month-long conflict continues. Yoon assured continued South Korean support for Ukraine until peace and normalcy return to the country. In a post-meeting <\/span>Twitter post<\/span><\/a>, Zelensky expressed gratitude for the ROK\u2019s humanitarian efforts and non-lethal assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why It Matters<\/b><\/p>\n

While Yoon Suk-yeol has expressed solidarity with Ukraine and committed to ongoing non-lethal assistance, he has stopped short of committing to military aid for Kyiv. This ambiguity contradicts his comments in April when he hinted that South Korea might consider providing military assistance to Ukraine if \u201cit comes under a large-scale civilian attack.\u201d Zelensky\u2019s focus on non-military assistance could suggest his recognition of Seoul\u2019s reservations regarding military support and his intention not to strain the partnership between the two nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Yoon may be pressured to provide military aid to Ukraine during the forthcoming <\/span>visit<\/span><\/a> by European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Monday, May 22. It is anticipated that these discussions will lean towards persuading Seoul to pledge the provision of ammunition, given Ukraine\u2019s preparations for a counter-offensive against Russia. With <\/span>dwindling ammunition reserves<\/span><\/a>, Western nations have started considering South Korea as a potential supplier. The EU\u2019s pressure on Seoul will likely be minimal as the U.S. and the ROK are already engaged in <\/span>private discussions<\/span><\/a> about supplying ammunition and arms to Ukraine. However, it will serve as a symbolic gesture to highlight Western resolve.<\/span><\/p>\n
