“We will reconsider the issue of supplying weapons to Ukraine,” South Korean national security adviser Chang Ho-jin told reporters late on Thursday after Putin, who visited Pyongyang for the first time in more than 20 years, said he would consider supplying high-precision weapons to North Korea.“Any co-operation that helps increase North Korea’s military power is a violation of the UN Security Council,” Chang added. “It doesn’t make sense to promise military co-operation, assuming a pre-strike by the international community that will not happen.” South Korea’s foreign ministry on Friday summoned Russia’s ambassador in protest against the strategic partnership, under which Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un pledged to deploy “military and other assistance” in the event of conflict.Seoul’s foreign minister Cho Tae-yul and US state secretary Antony Blinken condemned the deal as a serious threat to regional peace and stability. The officials agreed to “strengthen the US-Korea alliance’s deterrence power and security co-operation” with Japan, Seoul’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
