MOSCOW, December 4. /TASS/. Arms supplies to Ukraine are unlikely to be on South Korea's agenda in the near future, Russian Ambassador to Seoul Georgy Zinoviev said on the Rossiya-24 TV channel.

"I believe that, given the dramatic developments on South Korea's political stage, the issue of aid to Kiev is unlikely to become a pressing concern for the country in the near future," he said.

The ambassador also emphasized that the current administration "has not initiated direct deliveries of lethal weapons to Ukraine, as this would lead to a collapse in relations" between Moscow and Seoul. "As for the allocation of some funds for Kiev - this has been widely announced not only in Korea. However, it is difficult to determine what has actually been allocated," the diplomat added.

On the evening of December 3, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol announced the introduction of martial law. A few hours later, the parliament voted to lift it. Later, when the leader promised to reverse his decision, the Cabinet of Ministers supported him. All this happened in less than six hours. South Korea has not been under martial law for 45 years.

On December 4, the opposition initiated impeachment proceedings against the South Korean president. The related vote is expected this week.
