President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that South Korea would be making "a big mistake" if it decides to supply arms to Ukraine and that Moscow would respond to such a move in a way that would be painful for Seoul.
Putin, who was speaking at a news conference in Vietnam, was reacting to a report from Yonhap news earlier on Thursday which said South Korea would review the possibility of supplying weapons to Ukraine after Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signed a mutual defence pact a day earlier.
He warned Seoul against moving to supply weapons to Kyiv.
"As for the supply of lethal weapons to the war zone in Ukraine, that would be a very big mistake," he said.
"I hope that this will not happen. And if it does happen, then we will also take appropriate decisions, which are unlikely to please the current leadership of South Korea," said Putin.

Biden needs to stay in his lane.
It didn’t take long for Pootie to start talking trash.
Yet he wants the world to believe North Korea is taking no risks supplying arms to Russia. He has a very simplistic one-sided view.
Joe had to beg South Korea to send 300,000, 155-millimeter artillery shells to Ukraine last year, and again last month. In May, Biden asked South Korea again to send shells. They have 105 mm shells stockpiled because they have fewer howitzers that use that size shell. 105 mm shells weigh around 33 pounds each, have less range and explosive power than 155 mm shells, around 95 pounds each. But let’s deplete South Korea’s stock why don’t we.
If Trump were in office, the world wouldn’t be heading toward WWIII. Now, if he wins, how will he clean up this mess?
Putin thinks he’s king of the world.
But North Korea supplying Russia is just fine. Can’t have it both ways Puty.
Imagine that?
Neocons wanted a proxy war with Russia, and are surprised they got a proxy war with Russia.
