South Korea’s Foreign Ministry has summoned the Russian ambassador to Seoul, expressing strong protest over allegations that troops from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) have been deployed to support Russian forces in the conflict in Ukraine.
The move comes amid heightened tensions, as reports suggest that the DPRK may be providing military assistance to Russia. The Republic of Korea (ROK) has called for an immediate clarification from Moscow regarding these allegations.
“The government of the ROK cannot overlook any actions that may escalate the conflict in Ukraine or threaten peace and stability,” a spokesperson from the Foreign Ministry stated.
The Russian ambassador was urged to convey Seoul’s concerns to his government promptly. The ROK has also called on all parties involved to respect international law and seek peaceful resolutions.
These developments have drawn significant attention from the international community, as the involvement of additional parties in the Ukraine conflict could have widespread implications for global security and economic stability.
Analysts are closely monitoring the situation to assess the potential impact on diplomatic relations and regional dynamics in Asia.
