[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, said on the 27th, "We support Ukraine's desperate resistance alongside all free democratic countries around the world."

On the same day, Yoon stated on his Facebook, "The reason we were able to protect the Republic of Korea during the Korean War over 70 years ago was thanks to the devoted help of the free world."

Regarding this, Yoon criticized the government and Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea. He pointed out, "In times of national security crises, the help of allied countries is essential. However, since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, our government's attitude has been lukewarm. They hesitated to join sanctions against Russia and only belatedly expressed their intention to participate."

Yoon continued, "The Democratic Party and candidate Lee tried to exploit another country's tragedy for domestic politics, belittling and mocking the Ukrainian president, which has brought international embarrassment."

He added, "We must stand on the right side of history. We need to have a firm security perspective and clearly define our position in the international community. Abandoning the international role we should rightfully play while looking around nervously is a cowardly act."

Yoon also emphasized, "I will make the Republic of Korea a country that contributes to international freedom and prosperity," and "When we remember history and respond properly, Korea will become a richer and more respected nation."
