**South Korea Weighs Aid to Ukraine**
President Yoon Suk-yeol is considering a change in policy on sending military aid to Ukraine. A Ukrainian delegation led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov will visit South Korea soon, asking for critical weapons like anti-air missiles and artillery pieces.

However, opposition lawmakers have threatened to impeach the defense minister if military aid is sent to Ukraine. Moscow has also warned that sending weapons would ruin relations between the two countries.
