Seoul denies report of arms deal with US for Ukrainian forces

South Korea on Friday denied a report that it would sell artillery shells for use by Ukrainian forces, claiming the munitions -- if the ongoing deal negotiation is finalised -- will be for US forces only.
...
"In order to make up for the shortage of 155mm ammunition inventories in the US, negotiations are ongoing between the US and a (South Korean) company to export ammunition," Seoul's defence ministry said in a statement.

"This is being done under the premise that the United States will be the final user" of the shells, it added.

South Korea's "policy of not providing lethal weapons to Ukraine remains unchanged," it said.

Will they break their word, especially when US officials blatantly admitted their intentions of buying the munitions to send to Ukraine? If they do, you can bet that North Korean and Russian relations will grow while the South will get nothing or close to it, from Russia.

If those shells reach Ukraine, which averages about 6,000 a day, they will be depleted in a matter of a couple weeks, it certainly won't last a month, and that's if the depots aren't found out by informants and the Russians pay them a visit for Kalibration.

All in all, with no more munitions in largely a conflict centered around artillery, the Ukranazi will be left with only two options, die or flee.
