South Korea is refusing to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine even as Kyiv says North Korea is supplying Russia with missiles and troops – and accused Moscow of using North Korean ballistic missiles in a deadly overnight barrage. “The city was struck with North Korean ballistic missiles, Zircons, and guided aerial bombs,” Zelensky said. Ukraine has not publicly provided evidence for the claim that North Korean missiles were used in the attack. Zelensky said North Korea was gaining valuable battlefield experience through its cooperation with Russia and urged South Korea to provide Ukraine with air defense systems and other capabilities. Pyongyang has been accused by Ukraine, South Korea, and Western intelligence agencies of supplying Russia with large quantities of weapons and ammunition.
