Russian President Vladimir Putin cautioned South Korea against providing arms to Ukraine, stating it would be a significant error. This warning comes after Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a mutual defense pact, solidifying their strategic partnership. The agreement ensures immediate military assistance in case of an attack on either country.
Putin clarified that the defense pact only applies in the event of aggression against the signatories, indicating that South Korea's security is not at risk. However, South Korea expressed grave concerns over the Russia-North Korea treaty, labeling it as a departure from international norms.
