SEOUL, April 11 (Al Jazeera) - South Korea’s defence minister Suh Wook has told his Ukrainian counterpart that Seoul has “limits” when it comes to sending weapons to Ukraine, the Yonhap news agency reports.

Ukrainian defence minister Oleksii Reznikov reportedly requested anti-aircraft weapons in a phone call with Suh on Friday. South Korea has previously refused to send weapons to Ukraine, providing largely humanitarian support.

Yonhap reports the spokesperson for South Korea’s defence ministry, Boo Seung-chan, told a press briefing Seoul’s stance on sending Ukraine weapons was influenced by its “security situation and its potential impact on our military readiness posture”.

Zelenskyy is set to deliver a video address to South Korea’s National Assembly later today where he is expected to again request weapons.
