International South Korean president pledges $150m aid to Ukraine after talks with Zelenskiy
South Korea, which is the world’s ninth-largest arms exporter, has a longstanding policy to not supply lethal weapons to active conflict zones.

Yoon added that humanitarian aid would be increased to $150m in 2023, from $100m last year.
