🇰🇷 South Korea pledges $100 million for Ukraine for 2027 despite the diplomatic dispute.
🖥 The country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs included these funds in the draft budget, reports Korea JoongAng Daily with reference to parliamentary and diplomatic sources. This is funding a package that President Lee Jae-myung promised in July.
💰 50 million dollars are planned to be directed through the NATO fund, 20 million dollars for humanitarian aid, another 30 million dollars for support programs for countries affected by conflicts.
🫡 Korean contributions to the NATO fund are already being used to rebuild the Ukrainian army. Other programs include energy, medicine and education. Possible projects also include assisting the displaced and working with the missing.
i ️ Relations between the countries worsened after Zelensky publicly announced in September the handover of two North Korean military prisoners to Seoul. The Korean side declared a breach of confidentiality and recalled the ambassador for consultations.
👀 Despite this, the Korean Foreign Ministry states that it will continue to support Ukraine. Right now, we are talking about a budget proposal, and no funds have already been transferred.
