A delegation of Ukrainian special envoys is expected to pay a courtesy visit to Yoon Suk Yeol's presidential office in Yongsan today.

The special envoys, led by Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerow, are expected to meet with President Yoon to share information on the North Korean military's dispatch of troops to the Russia-Ukraine war and ask for the South Korean government's weapons support.

Earlier, President Yoon said at a press conference on the 7th that he would not rule out arms aid depending on the degree of North Korean military involvement in the dispatch of North Korea.

Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yeol also met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibihar on the occasion of the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Fiji, Italy, on the 25th local time to discuss South Korea's support for Ukraine.

At the meeting, Sibihar said he expected the special envoy to Ukraine to visit Seoul in the near future to continue related consultations.
