Yoon stressed South Korea will base its decision on providing aid to the Eastern European country on the progression of the military agreement between North Korea and Russia, <em>Reuters<\/em> reported. The NATO meeting is set for July 9 through July 11. South Korea, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand, NATO\u2019s Asia-Pacific partners, will join the summit.  <\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s war with Ukraine has strained its relationship with South Korea. Yoon vehemently objected to the meeting between Putin and Kim. He also accused Russia of receiving weapons from North Korea, a claim that Russian officials have denied. <\/p>\n<p>Putin has downplayed South Korea\u2019s criticism of the relationship between his country and North Korea. In June, he dismissed South Korea\u2019s concerns about the military alliance between Russia and North Korea. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSouth Korea, the Republic of Korea has nothing to worry about because our military assistance under the treaty we signed only arises if aggression is carried out against one of the signatories.

And if it does happen, then we will also take appropriate decisions, which are unlikely to please the current leadership of South Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet Yoon has not been deterred.
