Korea announced Tuesday it will provide Ukraine with non-lethal military supplies, such as bulletproof helmets, blankets and medical items.
Seoul's planned logistics support package worth 1 billion won ($804,181) consists of about 20 items, including tents, meals ready-to-eat (MREs), bedspreads and first-aid kits, the defense ministry said in response to Kyiv's repeated calls for support to help repel Russia's attack.
"As for details including how to ship them and other specific issues, (related) consultations are under way," Boo Seung-chan, the ministry's spokesperson, told a regular press briefing.
