The Republic of Korea has delivered a humanitarian aid package to Ukraine that includes ten mine-clearing machines and one hundred light pickup trucks. This information came from a local broadcast company, citing a statement issued by the South Korean embassy in Kyiv.

According to the report, the government supplied demining equipment to Ukraine as part of ongoing support. The handover ceremony occurred in Kyiv on December 21, with President Yun Seok-yeol presenting the equipment promised at the G7 summit in Hiroshima in May to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Earlier, The Washington Post mentioned that South Korea’s military support to Ukraine included ammunition that, according to the newspaper, exceeded the combined total supplied by all EU nations. The publication did not provide specific figures to substantiate that claim.

Earlier statements indicated that South Korea will continue its aid to Ukraine at the request of the United States. [Source: KBSCiting the South Korean embassy in Kyiv]
