This includes assistance in the energy sector, infrastructure restoration, healthcare, and education.<\/p>\n<p> The publication notes that the South Korean official&#8217;s statement is essentially consistent with Seoul&#8217;s current position, which has still not agreed to the transfer of lethal weapons to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p> It was previously reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rosiia-vidnovyla-vykorystannia-raket-kndr-shcho-tse-oznachaie-dlia-ukrainy\/\">Russia had likely received a new batch of North Korean ballistic missiles and could increase their use in attacks on Ukraine<\/a> . This is indicated by the resumption of the use of North Korean-made missiles after a hiatus of nearly a year.<\/p>\n<p> As a reminder, the 11th Congress of the Socialist Patriotic Youth League was held in Pyongyang, during which North Korean leader Kim Jong-un called on young people to support the country&#8217;s state policies and military goals. <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/bomby-ta-polum-ia-dlia-zakhystu-chesti-kim-chen-yn-zaklykav-molod-kndr-pidtrymuvaty-viynu-proty-ukrainy\/\">North Korea also linked youth loyalty to North Korea&#8217;s participation in Russia&#8217;s war against Ukraine.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>&#8220;Pryamy&#8221;<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korea has not confirmed the possibility of supplying air defense systems or other weapons to Ukraine.
