Presidential Office "U.S. Pre-notification to South Korea upon approval of weapons use"

The president's office says it will notify Ukraine in advance if the U.S. decides to use weapons, in connection with reports that the U.S. has allowed Ukraine to use long-range missiles capable of striking mainland Russia.

A senior presidential official accompanying Yoon Suk Yeol's tour of South America told reporters in Brazil that U.S. President Joe Biden had shared information with the South Korean government in advance in authorizing the use of Attax.

The official said that if the U.S. decides to use the weapon, it will be notified in advance, but it is not a detailed explanation, and explained that we have been shared information because we do not have to participate and act.

Regarding Ukraine's weapons aid, he said that South Korea and the U.S. can exchange necessary weapons, but there has been no specific discussion between South Korea and the U.S. on the premise of the war in Ukraine.
