South Korea’s defence ministry said on Friday it was negotiating to provide the United States – a major supplier of weapons to Ukraine – with ammunition, after The Wall Street Journal reported Seoul had agreed to sell weapons destined for Ukraine.

Citing US officials familiar with the deal, the Journal said the agreement calls for the United States to purchase 100 000 rounds of 155 mm artillery rounds that would be delivered to Ukraine.Citing US officials familiar with the deal, the Journal said the agreement calls for the United States to purchase 100 000 rounds of 155 mm artillery rounds that would be delivered to Ukraine.

“In order to make up for the shortage of 155 mm ammunition inventories in the US, negotiations are ongoing between the US and Korean companies to export ammunition,” the statement said. “This is under the premise that the US is the end user.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on South Korea to provide weapons, which he said would be “indispensable”.
