SEOUL, August 10. /TASS/. South Korea remains committed to its policy of non-supplying lethal weapons to Ukraine, Yonhap said, citing a senior foreign ministry official.

Earlier, Vladimir Zelensky called on Seoul to supply Kiev with air defense systems.

"South Korea's supply of defense materials to any country has always been carried out in accordance with domestic law," the official said. South Korea’s laws prohibit supplies of lethal weapons to countries in a state of war.

"The government has offered support to Ukraine in a variety of sectors, including energy, infrastructure, healthcare and education, and will continue reviewing measures to help Ukraine recover peace and rebuild," he added.

According to Yonhap, such remarks indicate that the South Korean government maintains "a cautious stance on Ukraine's request for air defense support and other military provisions."

Seoul has been providing humanitarian and financial assistance to Kiev and has been supplying non-lethal military products. Moscow has repeatedly warned that is South Korea opts for supplying weapons to Ukraine, this will ruin bilateral relations.
