The United States plans to buy 100,000 South Korean-made artillery shells for use in the Ukraine war, a United States official has said.
South Korea has insisted its policy against providing lethal aid to Ukraine remained unchanged and it expects the end user of the ammunition to be US forces.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the US and South Korea were nearing an agreement to buy 100,000 rounds of 155mm artillery shells that would be delivered to Ukraine.
South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported on Friday that the country’s defence minister Lee Jong-sup and US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had “agreed ‘in principle’ to proceed with the artillery deal” during talks earlier this month.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had said on Thursday also added that the US would provide Ukraine with an additional $400m in arms, ammunition and other equipment from the defence department.
