South Korea has called on Russia to take immediate measures to stop the participation of North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine.
First Vice Foreign Minister Kim Hong-gyun summoned Russia's ambassador to Seoul, Georgy Zinoviev, to convey the "serious position of the government" and "strongly call for the immediate withdrawal of North Korean troops and the termination of relevant cooperation" with Pyongyang, according to a press release from South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Kim noted that the military cooperation, which goes beyond military supplies, poses a serious threat to South Korea and the international community and violates numerous UN Security Council resolutions.
Kim "strongly condemned illegal military cooperation, including the deployment of North Korean troops, and sternly warned that South Korea will respond with all possible means, together with the international community, to any actions that threaten South Korea's core interests."
