South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has pledged more aid to Ukraine. These include mine clearance equipment and military ambulances. Yoon Suk-yeol met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the first time since the war began on Sunday.
South Korea’s government has so far participated in financial sanctions against Russia and is providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Despite Zelenskyy’s corresponding requests, the East Asian country is not sending any weapons of war to Ukraine. Mine clearance equipment and ambulances for the military have now been promised. South Korea stands behind the Ukrainians until peace is restored, Yoon said. Both sides are said to have agreed to help rebuild Ukraine together. The President of Ukraine also promoted his peace plan at the G7 summit (see video above for the summit). This was developed in such a way that all points were supported by UN resolutions and each country could choose its own contribution. He insists on restoring the territorial unity of the Ukraine and rejects territorial cessions.Bakhmut guesswork Meanwhile, there is still guesswork about a possible capture of Bakhmut. Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated the Wagner mercenary force and the Russian army for “liberating” the embattled city, called Artemovsk in Russia. Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense denied. “Bakhmut was not occupied by Russia today,” Zelenskyy said in Japan on Sunday. The city’s own troops had partially encircled the city on the flanks, said Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maljar. As reported, the Moscow Ministry of Defense announced on Sunday night that the Wagner mercenary group and the Russian armed forces had captured Bakhmut together.
