South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s surprise visit to Ukraine signals his nation’s support for the invaded country and its cooperation with NATO. Yoon, accompanied by his wife Kim Keon Hee, toured Bucha and Irpin, witnessing the aftermath of the Russian invasion. South Korea has joined international sanctions against Russia and has provided Ukraine with humanitarian and financial aid. However, it adheres to its policy of not supplying weapons to conflict-engaged countries. Yoon announced plans to expand support shipments to Ukraine but did not mention weapons supplies. Both presidents discussed post-war reconstruction efforts and South Korea’s decision to increase shipments of nonlethal military items and provide $150 million in humanitarian aid this year. Yoon also revealed the launch of a scholarship fund for Ukrainian students in South Korea. South Korea, although not a NATO member, is considered a global partner of the military alliance. Yoon’s visit signifies solidarity with NATO partners and commitment to the rules-based international order. He arrived in Ukraine shortly after Russian drone attacks occurred, and Ukrainian forces successfully downed several drones throughout the country. Russia continues its shelling and aggression, with reports of civilian casualties. Meanwhile, Russia’s defense ministry completed its spring military conscription, taking in 12,500 more conscripts than the previous year. The visit highlights Yoon’s globally-minded foreign policy and exemplifies South Korea’s support for Ukraine.
