Umierov plans visit to South Korea for arms talks - South China Morning Post

Minister of Defense Rustem Umierov

Defense Minister Rustem Umierov plans to visit South Korea on November 27. There he will ask to transfer weapons to Ukraine.

This is reported by the South China Morning Post, citing an anonymous source familiar with the matter, Censor.NET reports with reference to LigaBusinessInform.

The publication notes that Umerov will present a "wish list" that includes missiles for air defense and artillery systems.

The defense ministries of South Korea and Ukraine did not comment on the visit.

At the same time, analysts believe that Seoul will take a cautious stance due to Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election and Moscow's warnings about supplying weapons to Ukraine.
