Russian president delivered the warning after Seoul announced it would consider arming Kyiv.
Russian President Vladimir Putin Thursday warned South Korea that sending lethal weapons to Ukraine would be a “big mistake.”
His comments come after Seoul announced it would consider arming Ukraine in response to Russia and North Korea signing a mutual defense pact on Wednesday.
“If South Korea supplies weapons to Ukraine, it will not like the answer. I hope they won’t do it, it would be a big mistake,” Putin said at a press conference in Vietnam, where he is conducting a two-day state visit aimed at deepening strategic cooperation.
When Putin says it will be a mistake, it’s probably a very good idea 💡
It would be a mistake to send this amount of material. We should double the shipment. Hell, triple it.
