  • South Korea does not officially provide military aid to Ukraine. However, in May, The Wall Street Journal wrote that South Korea is transferring hundreds of thousands of artillery shells to the United States, which are sending them to Ukraine.
  • In September , South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol announced that his country would start providing Ukraine with financial aid for recovery from 2025. According to the president, $300 million will be directed to humanitarian needs as early as 2024, and the remaining $2 billion — in 2025 in the form of long-term aid (to support social and economic infrastructure).
