[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, criticized the government and ruling party while emphasizing the "Korea-US alliance."

On the 28th, Yoon stated on his Facebook, "The Democratic Party regime is removing the solid roots of the Korea-US alliance."

He continued, "It is known that South Korea was excluded from the list of 32 partner countries participating in the US-imposed sanctions on Russia," adding, "Our government showed a lukewarm attitude toward Russia's invasion of Ukraine, disappointing our allies. As a result, South Korea was the only ally included in the US export control targets."

He said, "The price of abandoning what should be done in the international community has boomeranged back to our companies. Wrong judgments ignoring international affairs immediately harm domestic companies and citizens," and added, "Alliances must be maintained with mutual trust and faith."

Furthermore, Yoon emphasized, "The nation must protect its citizens and domestic companies," and stated, "Yoon Seok-yeol will be a president who takes the requests of allied countries seriously. He will restore the wavering Korea-US alliance with firm trust."

In this regard, the government expressed its intention to participate in the US sanctions against Russia on the afternoon of the same day. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained, "Our government will strengthen export control permit reviews to block the export of strategic items to Russia," and "The decision made today regarding export controls has been notified to the US side through diplomatic channels."
