According to Ukraine's state media Ukrinform, President Zelensky made this remark during a press conference marking the first anniversary of the war, in response to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg's recent request to the South Korean government for weapon support.

President Zelensky said, "We are proceeding with an invitation to the Korean leadership, and our Prime Minister's visit to Korea is also being planned," adding, "There is great interest in the bilateral relationship."

He further stated, "There are details being discussed with other countries regarding this wonderful nation," and added, "I hope that through this, we can find opportunities to support Ukraine."

On the 30th of last month, Secretary General Stoltenberg visited Seoul and urged the South Korean government to provide military support to Ukraine.

Last year, when the United States' stockpile of shells for supporting Ukraine decreased, it secured inventory by importing from South Korea, and it is known that a similar method is hoped for this time as well to supply shells.
