Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenksiy

asked South Korea for any military aid it could provide, saying that Russia could only be forced to make peace. Speaking to South Korea’s lawmakers in a video address, Zelenskiy said his country needed more help with weapons to survive the war.

• A step back: Seoul’s Defense Ministry had previously rejected a request by Ukraine for anti-aircraft weapons but Zelenskiy did not mention it, instead saying that "the usual rules for supplying weapons must be reviewed and acted upon quickly."
