Seoul protested Russia’s new defence pact with North Korea on Friday, amid rising border tensions, vague threats, and seemingly accidental incursions by North Korean troops.
South Korea summoned the Russian ambassador on Friday as tensions rise with North Korea.
South Korean vice Foreign Minister Kim Hong Kyun called in Russian Ambassador Georgy Zinoviev to protest the recently announced deal between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his North Korean counterpart Kim Jong Un.
They urged Moscow to immediately call off its alleged military cooperation with Pyongyang.
Earlier on Friday, Kim Yo Jung – the powerful sister of the North Korean leader – issued a vague threat of retaliation against South Korea.
Two days before, Moscow and Pyongyang had reached a pact vowing mutual defence assistance in the event of an attack on either nation.
In response, the South Korean government said it would consider providing weapons to Ukraine to fight Russia’s invasion.
