On Wednesday, November 27, a Ukrainian delegation headed by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov arrived in South Korea, according to Yonhap.
The delegation's itinerary includes a meeting with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and subsequent discussions with Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun. Key topics are expected to include Ukrainian intelligence reports on North Korean troops in Russia and efforts to secure South Korea’s support for Ukraine’s defense initiatives.
While the Ukrainian government has not officially commented on the visit’s agenda, the South China Morning Post previously reported that the delegation intends to request military aid from South Korea. The request reportedly includes air defense missiles and artillery systems.
This high-level diplomatic engagement highlights Ukraine's efforts to expand international support.
The visit comes about a month after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Kyiv's plans to send a delegation to South Korea during his phone talks with Yoon.
