May 26. According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korean Defense Ministry deputy spokesman Moon Hong-sik said on the 26th that the South Korean government is ready to provide Ukraine with chemical protection equipment, including gas masks and canisters.
According to reports, this batch of aid is worth 1.5 billion won (about 8 million yuan) and is expected to be sent out in June.
Wen Hongzhi said that consultations with relevant countries will be launched to ensure that aid materials can reach Ukraine as soon as possible.
Previously, the South Korean government has provided Ukraine with two rounds of military aid, including bulletproof helmets, tents, blankets, military rations, medicines, bulletproof vests and other non-lethal munitions.
The report also stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also publicly called on South Korea to provide military assistance to Ukraine in a video speech at the South Korean parliament in April, but the South Korean government still insists on the position of "incapable of assisting weapons of destruction".
