South Korea may send military and intelligence personnel to Ukraine after North Korea sent its troops to support Russia in the war.

This was reported by  Newsweek , citing the South Korean press.

A report by South Korean media, citing a representative of the country's intelligence service, says that the South Korean government and military "are considering a plan to send an appropriate number of personnel to Ukraine, including intelligence officers specializing in North Korea and “enemy tactics experts”.

South Korean personnel in Ukraine will conduct interrogations or provide translation services if North Korean soldiers are captured by the Ukrainian Defense Forces, the report said.

They will also provide Kyiv with information on North Korea's military tactics, doctrine and operations.

South Korea's Defense Ministry said at a press briefing later Monday that it would consider measures with an “open attitude” regarding the possible supply of lethal weapons to Ukraine. Seoul previously provided humanitarian aid to Kyiv during the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Such comments from South Korea came after the country's intelligence agency said on Friday that North Korea had decided to send 12,000 troops, including special forces, to support Russia, 1,500 of whom are already in the Russian Far East.
