Pentagon Tells US Forces In Korea To Send Weapons To Ukraine

The United States Forces Korea (USFK) has confirmed receiving a request from the US Department of Defense to redirect excess weapons to Ukraine, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported on Thursday, citing a USFK spokesman.

"The Department of Defense continues to provide military assistance from its inventories in support of Ukraine. United States Forces Korea has been requested to support this effort by providing some of its equipment," USFK spokesman Isaac Taylor said in a statement quoted by Yonhap.

The spokesman did not specify what equipment or when would be shipped to Ukraine.

The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that USFK sent cannon artillery to Ukraine in November 2022.
