Protest against lethal aid to Ukraine

Members of liberal labor groups stage a rally on a street in Jongno district, central Seoul, Sunday, to protest the government's possible decision to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine to support its war against Russia. In a recent interview, President Yoon Suk Yeol said his administration might consider offering lethal aid to Kyiv in the case of “large-scale” attacks on civilians or because of a massacre, marking a significant shift from Korea's current approach of refraining from offering deadly weapons to the war-torn nation.
