"If South Korea supplies weapons of destruction to Ukraine, it could lead to very bad results."
This is what Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko told his country's state media.
Rudenko has warned that South Korea will respond in every way if it supports weapons capable of killing Russian people.
It also said it would completely destroy the Korea-Russia relationship.
He also argued that the West is trying to make South Korea an accomplice by attracting South Korea to empower the Zelensky regime.
In the meantime, Russian National Security Council Vice Chairman Medvedev, a close ally of Putin, said he had come to think about whom to hand over nuclear technology to among U.S. enemies.It is read as a
nuclear threat message, which is in line with President Putin's remarks that a new missile can be launched at any time.

As Russia fiddles with its nuclear cards every day, more and more Western countries are releasing "missile shackles" on Ukraine.
France, following the United States and Britain, has also indicated that it has lifted restrictions on Ukraine to use its long-range missiles to attack Russian territory.
[Jean-Noel Barlow / French Foreign Minister: President Macron said red lines should not be set or announced. We do not rule out any of those options.
Germany has supported 4,000 AI-guided drones capable of reaching Russian territory, although it maintains that it does not provide missiles, citing fears of escalation.
