South Korea has condemned a defense pact that North Korea signed with Russia earlier this week. The foreign ministry called it a threat to "peace and stability on the Korean peninsula". Seoul summoned Russia’s ambassador to the foreign ministry to discuss its concerns. While the details of the military pact are still unclear, South Korea is worried that it could encourage North Korean aggression. Seoul announced in response that it was considering sending weapons to Ukraine to support its defense against Russia.
